Question

if a red blood cell was placed in a hypertonic solution, it will: *
remain the same size
shrink in size because there is a greater concentration on the inside of the
require energy to pass through the cell membrane
swell in size because there is a greater concentration on the outside of the ce
which of the following organisms is considered prokaryotic? *
bacteria
plant
skin cell
muscle cell

Explanation:

1. In a hypertonic solution, there is a higher solute - concentration outside the red blood cell compared to inside. Water will move out of the cell by osmosis, causing the cell to shrink.
2. Prokaryotic organisms lack a true nucleus and membrane - bound organelles. Bacteria are prokaryotes, while plants, skin cells, and muscle cells are eukaryotic (have a nucleus and membrane - bound organelles).

Answer:

1. Shrink in size because there is a greater concentration on the outside of the cell.
2. bacteria
