Q

What will happen when you place an animal cell in a container of 100% distilled water?

A

Water will move into the cell and the cell will explode because the concentration of water is higher outside the cell than inside, so water moves in; then concentration of water in cell increases; water moving in increases cell volume causing it to explode
