the correct answer is E and this is because
distilled water is hypotonic leading to endo-osmosis hence the cell will but and it dies
NOTE
- take D only if it is specified that the cell is a plant
coz plants increased pressure due to excess water is resisted by the rigid cell wall hands the cell become more turgid as no bursting or rapture is encountered
E is very correct when the type of cell is not specified.It is D only if it's a plant cell.
plant cell become turgid because they have cell wall which is strong enough to avoid bursting
As Kefomdi purity has correctly noted, the correct answer is E. Myschool, please do the needful.
Correct answer here is E...note "for a long time". Yes! the cell will become turbid but it will burst due to excess turbidity.
