Question
5% nacl 95% h₂o environment cell 20% nacl 80% h₂o in this picture, how do you classify the solution? the solution is hypertonic the solution is isotonic the solution is hypotonic the solution is my tonic
To classify the solution, we compare the solute (NaCl) concentrations of the environment and the cell. The environment has 5% NaCl, and the cell has 20% NaCl. A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) than the cell. Since the environment's solute concentration (5% NaCl) is lower than the cell's (20% NaCl), the environmental solution is hypotonic relative to the cell.
