Question

11 multiple choice 1 point if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, what will happen? the cell will gain water and shrivel the cell will gain water and grow the cell will lose water and shrivel the cell will lose water and grow clear my selection

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside. Osmosis causes water to move out of the cell from an area of lower solute - higher water concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute - lower water concentration (outside the cell). As a result, the cell loses water and shrivels.

Answer:

The cell will lose water and shrivel
