Drinking too much water during exercise can cause a condition in which the concentration of sodium in the blood is lower than normal. What immediate response would the blood cells have in this condition?

Too much water lowers the sodium concentration outside blood cells, making the surrounding fluid more dilute than the fluid inside them. Water moves into the cells by osmosis, so the cells swell. The correct choice is “Cells swell as water moves into them.”
