8. During cell injury caused by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the cell
because:
A) during cell injury cause by hypoxia, sodium and water move into the cell
because:
B) the pump that transports sodium out of the cell cannot function because of
a decrease in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) levels
C) the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional sodium across the
cell membrane
D) oxygen is not available to bind with sodium to maintain it outside of the
cell: Ans: C- the osmotic pressure is increased, which pulls additional sodium across the cell membrane
