Question

label the following cells as isotonic, hypotonic or hypertonic
use the pictures on the left to answer the questions on the right

1. after digestion:

Explanation:

1. First cell (left): Water moves equally in and out, so the extracellular environment is isotonic to the cell, meaning the cell is in an isotonic solution.
2. Second cell (middle): Water moves into the cell, so the extracellular environment is hypotonic to the cell, meaning the cell is in a hypotonic solution.
3. Third cell (right): Water moves out of the cell, so the extracellular environment is hypertonic to the cell, meaning the cell is in a hypertonic solution.

Answer:

1. Left cell: Isotonic
2. Middle cell: Hypotonic
3. Right cell: Hypertonic
