Question

multiple choice question when cells are placed into a(n) __________ solution, there is a net movement of water out of the cells by osmosis and the cells shrink. o hypotonic o hypertonic o isotonic

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside. Water moves out of the cell by osmosis to balance the solute - water ratio, causing the cell to shrink. In an isotonic solution, there is no net water movement, and in a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell causing it to swell.

Answer:

B. hypertonic
