Question

#1 50% solute water solute 50% water type of solution: ______ impact on cell shape: ______

Explanation:

1. For the "Type of Solution": The concentration of water inside the cell (50%) and outside the cell (50%) is equal. A solution where the solute concentration (and thus water concentration) is the same inside and outside the cell is called an isotonic solution.
2. For the "Impact on Cell Shape": In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane (since the water concentration is equal inside and outside). So, the cell will maintain its normal shape.

Answer:

Type of Solution: Isotonic Solution
Impact on Cell Shape: The cell maintains its normal shape (no net water movement, so no shrinking or swelling).
