Question

question 1 (mandatory) (1 point) you decide to buy a new fish for your freshwater aquarium. when you introduce the fish into its new tank, the fish swells up and dies. you later learn that it was a fish from the ocean. based on what you know of tonicity, the most likely explanation is that the unfortunate fish went from a(n) solution into a(n) solution. hypotonic, hypertonic isotonic, hypertonic hypotonic, isotonic hypertonic, isotonic isotonic, hypotonic

Explanation:

Ocean - water is a hypertonic solution compared to freshwater. When a fish from the ocean (living in a hypertonic environment) is placed in freshwater (a hypotonic environment for it), water moves into the fish's cells by osmosis, causing the fish to swell and die. So the fish went from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution.

Answer:

hypotonic, hypertonic
