Understanding Cells and Their Behavior in Different Environments

What was the main focus of the experiment involving plant and animal cells?

• To measure the growth rate of cells

• To analyze the energy production in cells

• To study the movement of water in different environments

• To observe the color change in cells

Why did the animal cell burst when placed in pure water?

• It was exposed to high temperatures

• It absorbed too much salt

• It was too small to handle the water pressure

• It lacked a cell wall to maintain its shape

What is the role of the cell wall in plant cells when placed in pure water?

• To increase the cell's size

• To change the cell's color

• To provide a fixed and regular shape

• To allow more water to enter

What causes a cell to shrink in a saltwater environment?

• The cell wall collapses

• Water moves out of the cell into the saltwater

• The cell membrane becomes thicker

• The cell absorbs more salt

How does water move in relation to concentration gradients?

• From a region of less water to more water

• From a region of more water to less water

• From a region of high salt to low salt

• From a region of low temperature to high temperature
