An animal cell Presume its normal volume when it is placed in a solution with a total electrolyte molarity of 0.3 M. Suppose if the cell is placed in a solution with a total molarity of 0.6 M, then explain what happens?

More water enters than leaves the cell, causing it to burst

More water leaves than enters the cell, causing it to shrink

The volume of the cell stays constant

No movement of water across the membranes takes place

The electrolyte molarity outside the cell cannot be higher than inside the cell.
