A student peeled the skins from grapes exposing cells with membranes that are only per meable to water and small diffusible solutes The student measured the mass of the peeled grapes The student then placed each peeled grape in various solutions One of the solu tions contained distilled water with mercurial sulfhydryl Mercurial sulfhydryl is an inhibitor of aquaporins Which of the following is the most likely effect of adding mercurial sulfhydryl to the dis tilled water solution A B C D The grape cells will gain more water due to the activation of the transport protein The grape cells will gain water more slowly due to a lack of facilitated diffusion The grape cells will shrink due to active transport being inhibited The grape cells will rupture due to excess water enterin
