Question
directions: answer the questions below by dragging the circles over the correct answers.
remember, water moves from high to low water concentration, and from low to high solute concentration
- the cell has a
high low
concentration of water
compared to the solution.
- the solution has a
high low
concentration of water
compared to the cell.
- water will move
into out of
the cell
- the solution is
hypertonic hypotonic
isotonic
compared to the cell
Step1: Analyze water concentration in cell vs solution
The cell has 70% water and the solution has 50% water. So the cell has a high concentration of water compared to the solution.
Step2: Analyze water concentration in solution vs cell
Since the cell has 70% water and the solution has 50% water, the solution has a low concentration of water compared to the cell.
Step3: Determine water movement
Water moves from high to low water concentration. Since the cell has higher water concentration than the solution, water will move out of the cell.
Step4: Determine solution type
A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) than the cell. Since the solution has 50% water (cell has 70% water, so solution has higher solute), the solution is hypertonic.
