Question

a(n) ________ solution has the same concentration of water as the cell placed in the solution. multiple choice hypotonic isotonic diffusive osmotic

Explanation:

An isotonic solution has an equal water - concentration to the cell placed in it. In an isotonic environment, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane as the solute and water concentrations are the same inside and outside the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a higher water concentration (lower solute concentration) than the cell, leading to water influx into the cell. "Diffusive" is a general term related to the movement of substances by diffusion and is not specific to the water - concentration relationship here. "Osmotic" refers to the process of osmosis but does not describe the solution type with equal water concentration to the cell.

Answer:

B. isotonic
