Question

1. at which solution of concentration gradient is each cell diagram? (hypotonic, hypertonic, isotonic)

3.
2.
5% h₂o 95% nacl
95% h₂o 5% nacl
95% h₂o 5% nacl
95% h₂o 5% nacl
water will flow both directions (into the cell, out of the cell, in both directions). (shrink)
the cell will stay the same. (shrink, burst, stay the same)
water will flow both directions (into the cell, out of the cell, in both directions). (shrink, burst, stay the same)

Explanation:

Step1: Understand osmosis principles

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.

Step2: Analyze the first cell

The cell has 95% H₂O and 5% NaCl, while the external solution has 5% H₂O and 95% NaCl. The external solution is hypertonic (lower water concentration). So water will flow out of the cell.

Step3: Analyze the second cell

The cell has 5% H₂O and 95% NaCl, and the external solution has 95% H₂O and 5% NaCl. The external solution is hypotonic (higher water concentration). So water will flow into the cell.

Answer:

For the first cell, water will flow out of the cell. For the second cell, water will flow into the cell.
