Maria and Sam are doing an investigation to see what happens if a vegetable is placed in salt water overnight. The next day, they notice that their sample appeared shrunken because salt water causes cells
to lose water. Sam tells Maria that he thinks this is the reason why humans cannot drink salt water. Is he
correct?
O A Yes, Sam is correct. Animal and plant cells react the same way when exposed to salt water, so it
is not safe to drink
O B. Yes, Sam is correct. Animal cells can process salt water in small amounts, so it is safe for
humans to drink salt water.
O C. No, Sam is not correct. Plant cells and animal cells act differently when exposed to salt water.
OD. No, Sam is not correct Both animal and plant cells are made in the same way, but plant cells
can process salt water.
