Question 15 options:

water flows into the dialysis tubing

water flows out of the dialysis tubing

nothing happens

sucrose diffuses out of the tubing

sucrose diffuses into the tubing

The cell would shrivel

The cell would divide into two cells

The cell would digest itself

The cell would need to manufacture more lysosomes

Explanation / Answer

Q. 13. The cell would digest itself

The lysosomes contain a range of hydrolases that are involved in the degradation of host and foreign macromolecules into their monomeric subunits. The rupture of lysosomes would eventually lead to degradation of cellular protiens, lipids, phosphates and nucleic acids, leading to cell death.
