Question

which term describes a solution that has less solute than the cell, causing water to move into the cell? 0 point

isotonic

hypertonic

hypotonic

osmosis

Explanation:

• Isotonic solutions have equal solute concentration to the cell, so no net water movement.
• Hypertonic solutions have more solute than the cell, causing water to leave the cell.
• Hypotonic solutions have less solute than the cell, so water moves into the cell.
• Osmosis is the process of water movement across a membrane, not a solution type.

Answer:

C. Hypotonic
