Question

which of the following describes a hypotonic solution? an equal concentration of solutes in both the solution and the cell a higher concentration of solutes outside of the cell than inside a lower concentration of solutes outside of the cell than inside

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration outside the cell compared to the inside. This causes water to move into the cell (osmosis). An equal solute concentration describes an isotonic solution. A higher solute concentration outside is a hypertonic solution.

Answer:

a lower concentration of solutes outside of the cell than inside
