Question

5% nacl 95% h₂o environment cell 20% nacl 80% h₂o in this picture, how do you classify the solution? the solution is hypertonic the solution is isotonic the solution is hypotonic the solution is my tonic

Explanation:

To classify the solution, we compare the solute (NaCl) concentrations of the environment and the cell. The environment has 5% NaCl, and the cell has 20% NaCl. A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) than the cell. Since the environment's solute concentration (5% NaCl) is lower than the cell's (20% NaCl), the environmental solution is hypotonic relative to the cell.

Answer:

The solution is hypotonic
