In the given scenario what will happen? An egg is placed in pure water for 48 hours.
A
The egg will gain water and swell.
B
Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.
C
The egg will lose water and shrink.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours. Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.

Detailed explanation-2: -An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours what will happen? The egg will lose water and shrink.

Detailed explanation-3: -An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours. The egg will gain water and swell. Particles are removed from a cell (pushed out).

Detailed explanation-4: -When this is semipermeable egg is placed in a saline solution (hypertonic solution), exosmosis occurs and the egg shrinks due to loss of water to the surrounding environment. If the water concentration inside is higher than the surrounding environment, the medium is said to be hypertonic solution.

Detailed explanation-5: -If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
