Question

what happens in a hypertonic solution when there are too many solutes outside of the cell? water will move out of the cell to reach equilibrium. water will move both into and out of the cell. water will move into the cell to help hydrate the cell.

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside. By osmosis, water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell) to higher (outside) to reach equilibrium. So water moves out of the cell.

Answer:

A. Water will move OUT of the cell to reach equilibrium.
