Question

10 multiple choice 1 point if a cell swells and bursts, it was placed in a: hypertonic solution hypotonic solution isotonic solution saline solution

Explanation:

In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside. Water moves into the cell by osmosis, causing it to swell and potentially burst. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. Saline solution can be isotonic, hypertonic or hypotonic depending on its concentration, but generally an isotonic saline is common - and it won't cause swelling and bursting.

Answer:

B. Hypotonic solution
