Question

what happens in a hypertonic solution when there are too many solutes outside of the cell?
water will move into the cell to help hydrate the cell.
water will move out of the cell to reach equilibrium.
water will move both into and out of the cell.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a hypertonic solution with more solutes outside the cell, osmosis occurs. Water moves from an area of lower solute - concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher solute - concentration (outside the cell) to reach equilibrium.

Answer:

Water will move OUT of the cell to reach equilibrium.
