Question

name: danniell a. is a torres date: 10.9.2025 passive transport review worksheet part a: complete the table below. solution outside the cell hypertonic hypotonic isotonic the amount of solute outside the cell is... ____ than inside the cell __ than inside the cell __ to the inside of the cell the direction in which the water will move (diffuse) __ of the cell __ the cell both in and out at an __ rate effect on the cell... the cell will __ the cell will __ ____

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, there is more solute outside the cell than inside. Water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink. In a hypotonic solution, there is less solute outside the cell than inside. Water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In an isotonic solution, the solute amount outside is equal to that inside the cell, and water moves in and out at an equal rate, with no net change to the cell's size.

Answer:

The amount of solute outside the cell is:

• Hypertonic: more
• Hypotonic: less
• Isotonic: equal

The direction in which the water will move (diffuse):

• Hypertonic: out
• Hypotonic: into
• Isotonic: equal

Effect on the cell:

• Hypertonic: shrink
• Hypotonic: swell
• Isotonic: no net change
