Due to an unusually high concentration of particles inside of a cell, the membrane starts to expand and finally bursts. which problem is the cell most likely having?

Answer;

The problem that the cell is most likely to be having is that it is unable to maintain stable internal environment.

Explanation;;

The difference between the outside environment and the inside environment of a cell is extremely important, and living things need to maintain the cellular barriers for growth, reproduction, and homeostasis, which the ability to maintain stable, constant internal conditions. Such that when the cell gets off balance, the cell can return to normal.

Out of the following given choices;

A. The cell is unable to get more water into the cell.

B. The cell is unable to build more protein molecules.

C. The cell is unable to produce water molecules inside the cell.

D. The cell is unable to maintain a stable internal environment.

The answer is D. Due to high amounts of proteins in the cell, osmotically active proteins cause the internal environment of the cell to be hypertonic to the extracellular fluid. This causes excess water to enter the cell by osmosis and resulting in lysis.
