Answer:

The SimCell will expand due to net movement of alcohol into the cell

Explanation:

Since the SimCell is only permeable to alcohol and not water, only alcohol can move in and out of the cell. Hence, if a SimCell that contains 20% alcohol and 0% water is placed in a solution containing 40% alcohol and 60% water, there would be a net movement of alcohol from the surrounding solution into the SimCell till equilibrium concentration of alcohol is established between the SimCell and the surrounding solution.

<em>Therefore, the SimCell will expand due to the net movement of alcohol into the cell.</em>

A red blood cell has been placed into three different solutions. One solution is isotonic to the cell, one solution is hypotonic
Dmitry [639]

The type of solution in each beaker based on cell's reaction are :

  • Isotonic solution : Normal reaction
  • Hypotonic solution : The cell becomes turgid
  • Hypertonic solution : The cell becomes deformed

<h3>Matching each solution to the cell reaction </h3>

When the red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution the solvent flows in and out of the blood cell at the same rate, when the cell is placed in a hypotonic solution the solvent flows into the cell at a faster rate causing the cell to swell ( becomes turgid ) also when the cell is placed in a hypertonic reaction the cell becomes deformed becomes it loses more water than it absorbs.

Hence we can conclude that The type of solution in each beaker based on cell's reaction are : Isotonic solution : Normal reaction, Hypotonic solution : The cell becomes turgid, Hypertonic solution : The cell becomes deformed
