Answer:
If the cells are submerged in pure distilled water, each cell will absorb water from the environment where it is located, increase its volume and possibly break.
Explanation:
The cells maintain an osmotic balance relationship between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space, that is, the cell is isotonic with the medium.
When a cell is exposed to a hypotonic medium -such as that which provides pure distilled water- water will pass through osmosis from the extracellular space to the cytoplasm, causing the cell to increase in volume (swell) and the increase in internal pressure can Make it break.
In osmosis, water passes from space with less concentration of solutes to the highest concentration.
