Question

1. a cell with 25% particles is placed in a solution with 55% particles. the solution has what type of tonicity?

○ hypotonic
○ active
○ isotonic
○ hypertonic

Explanation:

Tonicity describes the relative concentration of solutes (particles) in a solution compared to another solution (like the inside of a cell). A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell. Here, the solution has 55% particles and the cell has 25% particles. Since 55% > 25%, the solution has a higher solute concentration than the cell.

Answer:

hypertonic
