Question

1. this cell is in a _ solution. * hypotonic hypertonic isotonic

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside is higher. In an isotonic solution, the solute concentrations are equal. Looking at the diagram, the solute (yellow diamonds) concentration is higher inside the cell (blue area) than outside. So, it is a hypotonic solution (because the outside has lower solute concentration relative to the inside).

Answer:

hypotonic
