Question

hypo/iso/hyper-tonic solution, definintion iii a(n) ______ solution has a lower concentration of water than the cell placed in the solution. multiple choice isotonic diffusive hypertonic osmotic hypotonic

Explanation:

A hypertonic solution has a lower water - concentration compared to the cell placed in it. Osmosis will cause water to move out of the cell into the hypertonic solution. Isotonic solutions have the same water - concentration as the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a higher water - concentration than the cell. "Diffusive" is not a term used to describe these types of solutions in this context, and "osmotic" is a more general term related to the process of osmosis rather than a type of solution in this sense.

Answer:

C. hypertonic
