Question

A hypertonic solution has:

Answer 1

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

What is hypertonic solution?

1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
