Question

in solution a below, the same concentration of salt exists inside the cell as outside the cell at 10%. therefore, water molecules will move equally to maintain the osmotic balance. this is an example of a(n) hypotonic solution. hypertonic solution. isotonic solution. rewatch

Explanation:

In an isotonic solution, the solute (salt in this case) concentration is the same inside and outside the cell, resulting in equal water - molecule movement to maintain osmotic balance. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell.

Answer:

isotonic solution.
