Question

hypertonic
hyper means \above\ as in \above strength\
in a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher than that of
the cell, so water will move outside of the cell and the cell will shrivel trying
to create equilibrium.
an example of a hypertonic solution would be corn syrup.
hypotonic
hypo means \below\, as in \below strength.\
in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower than the cell
water will move into the cell trying to create equilibrium
an example of a hypotonic solution would be fresh water.
which of the solutions would have the same
concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane?
hypertonic
isotonic
hypotonic

Explanation:

To determine the solution with equal solute concentration on both sides of the membrane, we analyze the definitions:

• Hypertonic: Solute concentration outside > inside (water moves out).
• Hypotonic: Solute concentration outside < inside (water moves in).
• Isotonic: "Iso" means equal, so solute concentration is the same on both sides, leading to no net water movement.

Answer:

B. isotonic
