Question

1. in osmosis, water always moves toward the ____ solution: that is, toward the solution with the ____ solute concentration. • isotonic...greater • hypertonic...greater • hypertonic...lesser • hypotonic...greater • hypotonic...lesser 4. the concentration of solutes in a red blood cell is about 2%. sucrose cannot pass through

Explanation:

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane. A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. Water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (higher water concentration) to an area of higher solute concentration (lower water concentration) to try to balance the concentrations. Isotonic solutions have equal solute concentrations, so there is no net movement of water. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration.

Answer:

Hypertonic...greater
