After sweating through a long marathon, a runner decides to replenish their body fluids by drinking an amount of pure water that is equal to the volume of lost bodily fluids. Which of the following describes the most likely impact on the cells in the body of the run- ner as a result of this action? A B C D The cells will swell because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will swell because they will become hypotonic relative to their normal solute concentration. The cells will shrivel up because they will become hypertonic relative to their normal solute concentration.
