If a cell contains a large amount of water, the internal solution becomes more dilute, causing water to move out of the cell into the external fluid through osmosis.
If a cell has excess water, the internal solution becomes more dilute, and water moves out of the cell into the surrounding fluid via osmosis.
| Front | What happens to a cell iff it has lots of water during osmosis? |
|---|---|
| Back | The solution inside the cell will be more dilute and water will be drawn out of the cell and into the fluid outside by osmosis. |
