Question

you know that this cell is in a(n) ____ solution because it ____. animal cell hypertonic... gained water hypertonic... lysed hypotonic... lysed hypertonic solution... lost water hypotonic... is turgid submit previous answers request answer incorrect; try again; 2 attempts remaining this cell is not turgid.

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the animal cell due to osmosis. Animal cells do not have a cell - wall to maintain turgor pressure like plant cells. When too much water enters an animal cell in a hypotonic solution, it can burst (lyse). A hypertonic solution would cause water to leave the cell. Since the cell in the image appears to have burst (lysed), it is in a hypotonic solution.

Answer:

C. hypotonic ... lysed
