Question

7% solute 20% solute 93% water 80% water cell 45. in diagram 4, which term describes the solution outside of the cell? 1 point hypertonic hypotonic isotonic 46. in diagram 4, what direction will water move? 1 point into the cell out of the cell equally in both directions

Explanation:

• Question 45:
• A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration compared to another solution (in this case, the cell's interior). Here, the outside solution has \(20\%\) solute and \(80\%\) water, while the cell (assuming typical cell - like concentrations for comparison) would have a lower solute concentration (since \(7\%\) solute is shown outside, but if we consider the cell's internal solute - water balance in a general sense, the outside has more solute). So, the outside solution is hypertonic.
• Question 46:
• Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration). Since the outside solution is hypertonic (higher solute), water will move out of the cell to try to balance the solute - water concentrations.

Answer:

1. Hypertonic
2. Out of the cell
