What You Need to Know...
You need to know the general structures of plant, animal, fungal, and bacteria cells.
You need to know the general structures of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and how they are alike and different.
You need to know how the structure relates to the function for the components of plant or animals cells. Structures you need to know are the cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, plasmids, ribosomes, flagella, nucleus, nuclear envelope, nucleolus, chromatin, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, microtubules, microfilaments, vacuoles, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, chloroplasts, lysosomes, and cilia
You need to understand the role of the cell membrane as a highly selective barrier that carries out passive and active transport.
You need to understand that viruses lack cellular organization and therefore cannot independently carry out all of the essential functions of life.

A. The swollen gums have absorbed the saltwater solution.
B. The saltwater solution lowers the temperature of the water in the gums.
C. The salt in the solution has moved against the concentration gradient.
D. The water in the gums has moved out due to the high concentration of salt in the solution.
