Question

use the correct terms to explain the osmotic concentrations of the solutions. if the cytoplasm of a cell is a 1% salt solution, a (click to select) salt solution will be hypertonic to it, a (click to select) solution will be isotonic to it, and a (click to select) solution will be hypotonic to it.

Explanation:

1. For the first blank (hypertonic to 1% salt solution cytoplasm): A hypertonic solution has a higher solute (salt) concentration than the cell's cytoplasm. So a salt solution with a concentration greater than 1% (e.g., 2% or more) would be hypertonic.
2. For the second blank (isotonic to 1% salt solution cytoplasm): An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the cell's cytoplasm. So a 1% salt solution would be isotonic.
3. For the third blank (hypotonic to 1% salt solution cytoplasm): A hypotonic solution has a lower solute (salt) concentration than the cell's cytoplasm. So a salt solution with a concentration less than 1% (e.g., 0.5% or pure water which has 0% salt) would be hypotonic.

Answer:

First (Click to select) : greater than 1% (e.g., 2% salt)
Second (Click to select) : 1% salt
Third (Click to select) : less than 1% (e.g., 0.5% salt or water)

(Note: The actual options in the "Click to select" dropdowns would likely have terms like "greater than 1%", "1%", "less than 1%" or specific concentration values, but based on the concept of tonicity, these are the correct descriptions. If the dropdowns have options like "2%", "1%", "0.5%", then the answers would be "2%", "1%", "0.5%" respectively as examples of hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic relative to 1%.)
