The concentration of water inside the cell was greater than in the salt water.
There was a higher concentration of salt in the water than in the cells.
There was a lower concentration of salt in the water than in the cells.
The concentration of water in the cells and salt water were equal.

a. energy is absorbed in the reaction.

if in a given reaction the energy of products is greater than the energy of reactants it means that reaction is endothermic and during the reaction, the energy is absorbed by reactants. in an endothermic reaction, the products have more stored chemical energy than the reactants. and in this reaction the reactants are more stable than products before the compounds with less energy are always more stable.
