Question

Applying Osmosis

Answer 1

Answer:

a. Water will move out of the cell

b. Shrink

c. Hypertonic solution

Explanation:

a. The scenario given shows that there is greater concentration of solutes outside the cell than the concentration of solutes inside the cell because there is 75% water inside the cell and 60% water outside the cell. So by osmotic pressure, water moves out of the cell.

b. Once the cell loses water it would shrink

c. It is an hypertonic solution because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than the concentration of solutes inside the cell.
