Question

A cell with 30% solute is in an environment that consists of 25% solute. Which statement is true?

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypotonic solutions are those with less solute (again read as higher water potential). Isotonic solutions have equal (iso-) concentrations of substances. Water potentials are thus equal, although there will still be equal amounts of water movement in and out of the cell, the net flow is zero.
