A cell whose cytoplasm has a concentration of 0.02 molar glucose is placed in a test tube of water containing 0.02 molar glucose
. Assuming that glucose is not actively transported into the cell, which of the following terms describes the tonicity of the external solution relative to the cytoplasm of the cell? A) isotonic
B) hypertonic
C) hypotonic
D) flaccid
E) turgid
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The term that describes the tonicity of the external solution relative to the cytoplasm of the cell would be isotonic. <span>An </span>isotonic solution<span> refers to two </span>solutions<span> having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.</span>
The similarities between bones of humans and other animals shows that every living creature on earth has a common ancestor, even if that common ancestor is as simple as a sing-celled organism.
