Question

what kind of solution was this cell in? hypertonic hypotonic equalilbrium isotonic

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell causing it to shrink. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell causing it to swell. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. "Equalilibrium" is mis - spelled, it should be "equilibrium". Without seeing the cell's state, we can't be certain, but if the cell is shrunken, it's hypertonic; if swollen, hypotonic; if normal, isotonic.

Answer:

No specific answer can be given without cell state details. If shrunken: A. Hypertonic; if swollen: B. Hypotonic; if normal: D. Isotonic. (Note: C. has mis - spelled "Equalilbrium")
