What will happen if cells are placed in distilled water?

A

The cells remain unchanged.

B

Water moves from inside of the cell to the outside.

C

Water moves from outside of the cell to the inside.

D

The cells shrink.

E

The cells dissolve.

Solute concentration is higher inside the cell as compared to that in the distilled water i.e., distilled water is hypotonic and the cell's interior is hypertonic.
Water will move from outside to the inside of the cell through the semi-permeable cell membrane and will cause the cell to swell.Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
