Question

use the diagram above to answer the next question. in what type of solution was the plant cell shown above placed? select one: a. a solution with distilled water b. a hypotonic solution c. a isotonic solution d. a hypertonic solution

Explanation:

In the diagram, water is moving out of the plant cell (as indicated by the arrows), causing the cell to plasmolyze. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, leading to water moving out of the cell by osmosis. In distilled water or a hypotonic solution, water would move into the cell, and in an isotonic solution, there would be no net movement of water.

Answer:

d. a hypertonic solution
