Explanation:

Question 18 (First Box with 60% Salt)

Step1: Calculate % H₂O in environment

Since total is 100%, % H₂O = \(100 - 60 = 40\%\)

Step2: Calculate % salt in cell

Total in cell is 100%, so % salt = \(100 - 30 = 70\%\)

Step3: Determine water movement

Environment has 40% H₂O, cell has 30% H₂O. Water moves from high to low H₂O (or low to high solute). So water moves out of the cell (environment is hypertonic? Wait, no: cell has 30% H₂O (70% solute), environment has 40% H₂O (60% solute). So cell is hypertonic to environment? Wait, no—water moves to higher solute. Cell solute: 70%, environment: 60%. So water moves out of environment into cell? Wait, no, H₂O concentration: environment 40%, cell 30%. So water moves from environment (40% H₂O) to cell (30% H₂O) (since H₂O moves to lower H₂O concentration, i.e., higher solute). Wait, maybe I messed up. Let's re-express:

Solute in environment: 60% (salt), cell: 70% (salt). So environment is hypotonic to cell? No, solute: cell has more solute (70% vs 60%), so water moves into cell (from environment to cell) because water moves to higher solute concentration. Wait, the first example: environment 25% H₂O (75% glucose), cell 55% H₂O (45% glucose). So environment has less H₂O (more glucose), cell has more H₂O (less glucose). So water leaves cell (moves to environment, higher solute). So in the 60% salt environment:

Environment: 60% salt (solute), 40% H₂O.

Cell: 30% H₂O, so solute (salt) is 70%.

So cell has more solute (70% vs 60%), so water moves from environment (40% H₂O) to cell (30% H₂O) (since H₂O moves to lower H₂O, i.e., higher solute). Wait, but the first example: environment 25% H₂O (75% solute), cell 55% H₂O (45% solute). So environment has higher solute (75% vs 45%), so water leaves cell (moves to environment). So in the 60% salt case:

Environment solute: 60%, cell solute: 70%. So cell has higher solute, so water moves into cell (from environment to cell). So the arrow would be from environment to cell. The solution (environment) is hypotonic (since it has less solute than cell), cell is hypertonic. Wait, but the first example's solution is hypertonic (environment has more solute). So let's correct:

For the first example (25% H₂O, 75% glucose environment; cell 55% H₂O, 45% glucose):

Environment solute: 75%, cell solute: 45%. So environment is hypertonic, cell is hypotonic. Water leaves cell (moves to environment, higher solute).

In the 60% salt environment:

Environment solute: 60%, cell solute: 70% (since cell has 30% H₂O, so 100 - 30 = 70% solute). So cell has higher solute (70% > 60%), so environment is hypotonic, cell is hypertonic. Water moves from environment (hypotonic) to cell (hypertonic), i.e., into the cell.

So % H₂O in environment: \(100 - 60 = 40\%\)

% salt in cell: \(100 - 30 = 70\%\)

Water movement: from environment (40% H₂O) to cell (30% H₂O) (arrow into cell)

Solution (environment) is hypotonic (since solute < cell's solute)

Question 18 (Second Box with 80% Oxygen)

Step1: Calculate % H₂O in environment

Total is 100%, so % H₂O = \(100 - 80 = 20\%\)

Step2: Calculate % oxygen in cell

Total in cell is 100%, so % oxygen = \(100 - 80 = 20\%\) (since cell has 80% H₂O)

Step3: Determine water movement

Environment H₂O: 20%, cell H₂O: 80%. So H₂O concentration is higher in cell. So water moves from cell (80% H₂O) to environment (20% H₂O) (since water moves to lower H₂O, i.e., higher solute). Solute in environment: 80% O₂, cell: 20% O₂. So environment is hypertonic (more solute), cell is hypotonic. Water leaves cell.

So % H₂O in environment: \(20\%\)

% oxygen in cell: \(20\%\)

Water movement: out of cell (arrow from cell to environment)

Solution (environment) is hypertonic.

Question 18 (Third Box with 100% Solute)

Step1: Calculate % H₂O in environment

Total is 100%, so % H₂O = \(100 - 100 = 0\%\)

Step2: Calculate % solute in cell

Total in cell is 100%, so % solute = \(100 - 95 = 5\%\)

Step3: Determine water movement

Environment H₂O: 0%, cell H₂O: 95%. So water moves from cell (95% H₂O) to environment (0% H₂O) (since water moves to lower H₂O, i.e., higher solute). Environment is hypertonic (100% solute), cell is hypotonic (5% solute). Water leaves cell.

So % H₂O in environment: \(0\%\)

% solute in cell: \(5\%\)

Water movement: out of cell (arrow from cell to environment)

Solution (environment) is hypertonic.

Question 18 (Fourth Box with 55% H₂O)

Answer:

s (Selected Examples, e.g., First 60% Salt Box):

• % H₂O (environment): \(40\%\)
• % salt (cell): \(70\%\)
• Water movement: into cell (arrow from environment to cell)
• Solution: Hypotonic (environment)

(Note: For each box, follow similar steps. Above is a detailed example for one box; apply to others as needed.)
