Question

A liquid contains 10 blue dye molecules. A cell in placed into this liquid. The cell does NOT have any dye inside of it BEFORE placing it into the liquid (solution). If the cell membrane were impermeable to the blue dye, what would happen if the cell were added to the liquid (solution)? SELECT ANY ANSWERS THAT ARE ACCURATE. Dye molecules could leave the cell All of the dye molecules would be found in the SOLUTION and NO dye molecules would be found In the cell. All of the dye molecules would be found m the cell and NO dye molecules would be found In the solution. Dye molecules could enter the cell The dye molecules would diffuse until equilibrium was reached.

Explanation / Answer

If the cell is impermeable to the blue dye , what would happen if the cell were added to liquid solution

All the dye molecules will be in the solution and no dye molecules into the cell.

Explanation :

As the dye molecules are impermeable into the cell , only the water will pass into the cell against the cell across the gradient making it to swell. Hence no dye molecules are found into the cell and they remain in the solution.

Hence Option B
