Question

water
solute
a normal red blood cell
b swollen red blood cell
c shrunken (crenated) red blood cell
direction of osmotic water movement
letter b represents what kind of solution?
hypertonic
hypotonic
isotonic

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell causing it to swell. In the image, the red - blood cell in B is swollen, indicating water has entered the cell due to a lower solute concentration outside the cell compared to inside. In hypertonic solutions, water moves out of the cell and in isotonic solutions, there is no net movement of water.

Answer:

Hypotonic
