question 1
if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution,
o there will be a net movement of water out of the cell.
o there will be a net movement of water into the cell.
o water will move equally in and out of the cell.
o water will never move.
In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside. Water moves from an area of lower solute concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute concentration (outside the cell) by osmosis. So, there is a net movement of water out of the cell.
