A)the concentration of the solute is higher inside the cell than outside it
B)the concentration of the solute is lower inside the cell than outside it
C)the concentration of the solute is the same inside and outside the cell
D)the concentration of water is higher inside the cell than outside it

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer
