During cell injury caused by hypoxia,why do sodium and water move into the cell?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sodium and water move into the cell during hypoxia because the pump that transports sodium out of the cell cannot function properly due to a decrease in ATP. This results in an imbalance of ions, causing an influx of sodium and water. Choice A is incorrect because the movement of potassium out of the cell is not directly related to the movement of sodium into the cell. Choice C is incorrect because osmotic pressure generally refers to the movement of water, not ions, and does not explain the specific movement of sodium. Choice D is incorrect because oxygen does not bind directly to sodium and is not involved in its movement across the cell membrane.
