During regulatory volume decrease, many cells will increase:
Ans. C. Efflux of K+a. K+ is the major intracellular ion; efflux of K+ will produce an osmotic flow of water out of the cell.b. Water exit will lead to a decrease in cell volume.c. An influx of Na+ and synthesis of sorbitol do not occur during this process because both processes would increase intracellular osmolytes and drive water into the cell, increasing cell volume.
