Question

Write true or false.

Exosmosis may cause bursting of a cell.

Answer 1

This statement is false.

Explanation:

Exosmosis is the outward movement of water from a cell into a surrounding hypertonic solution, which causes the cell to shrink or shrivel. In contrast, endosmosis is the inward movement of water into a cell, which creates high internal pressure and can ultimately cause an animal cell to burst.
