Dr. Chemist has developed a hydrophilic non-ionizing, no-dissociable fluorescent dye X. In a separate experiment, Dr. Chemist has concluded that the compound X does not diffuse into the human cell. If a human red blood cell is placed in a solution consisting of 50 mM NaCl, 50 mM CaCl2, and 100 mM fluorescent dye X, what would you observe?
a. The cell will shrink.
b. The cell will burst.
c. The cell will stay the same.
