Question

A cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. What is the role of the concentration gradient in the movement of water into the cell?

Accepted Answer

The concentration gradient causes water to move into the cell to achieve equilibrium.

Answer

The concentration gradient reverses, causing solutes to move into the cell.

Answer

The concentration gradient has no effect on water movement in passive transport.

Answer

The concentration gradient causes water to move out of the cell.
