Question

1. the cell below is in a ______ solution. *

hypertonic solution
hypotonic solution
sotonic solution

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside. Water moves out of the cell (as indicated by the arrow pointing outwards in the diagram), which is characteristic of a hypertonic environment. In a hypotonic solution, water would move into the cell (cell would swell), and in an isotonic solution, there is no net water movement.

Answer:

hypertonic solution
