a.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

If the condition outside the cell is 5% $NaCl$, then the water move by osmosis into the cell, out of the cell, or will no net movement occur.

Introduction:

Osmosis is a specialized case of diffusion that involves the passive transport of water (solvent). In osmosis, water moves through a semi-permeable membrane from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration.

b.

Summary Introduction

To determine:

If the condition outside the cell is $0.090\%$ $NaCl$, then the water move by osmosis into the cell, out of the cell, or will no net movement occur.
