I'm working on a biology multi-part question and need the explanation and answer to help me learn.

1. Which way will the water move, and how does this effect the cell?
A) Water enters the cell, cell will shrink
B) Water leaves the cell, cell will swell
C) Water enters the cell, cell will swell,
D) Water leaves the cell, cell will shrink
2. If the sodium-potassium pump is running, which way will the sodium and potassium move?
A) 2 sodium leave the cell, 3 potassium enter the cell
B) 3 sodium enter the cell, 2 potassium enter the cell
C) 3 sodium leave the cell, 2 potassium enter the cell
D) 2 potassium enter the cell, 3 sodium enter the cell
