1.	Question : The cocentration of solute in four cells is 0.4m. They are placed in four separate containers I,II,III and IV filled with saline water of concentrations 0.1M,0.4M,2M and 3Mrespectively. In container will the cell swell?
Answer» `I` `II` `III` `IV` SOLUTION :Concentration fo container-I with respect to the cell is HYPOTONIC THEREFORE, endosmosis occurs and water will move from its HIGHER concentration towards its lower concentration (i.e., from container to cell ), as a result of which cell in container-I will swell.
