Thinking about different osmotic conditions, which of the following statements is NOT true. Select one: a. If a cell contained 98% water and was placed into a solution of 100% water, water would flow into the cell. b. Under hypertonic conditions a bacterial cell would still look whole and intact under a light microscope c. None of the Above d. Based on their cell wall, one would expect a gram positive bacteria to lyse before a gram negative in extreme hypotonic solutions. e. A red blood cell will quickly lyse under hypotonic conditions compared to a bacterial cell

The movement of water across the plasma membrane is an example of osmosis and the living organism transport water mainly through this process. During osmosis the water movement occurs from higher water potential to the lower water potential area.
