Question

when a cell is placed into a salt solution that has a salt concentration lower than the inside of the cell, the solution is said to be ____.
osmosis
hypertonic
colligative
hypotonic

how did i do?
____ is/are needed to stop the movement of solvent through a membrane.
solvent molecules
water molecules
osmotic pressure
an decrease in termperature
an increase in temperature

Explanation:

In the first question, a hypotonic solution has a lower solute (salt) concentration compared to the inside of the cell. In the second question, osmotic pressure is the pressure needed to stop the movement of solvent (usually water) through a semi - permeable membrane.

Answer:

First question: D. hypotonic
Second question: C. Osmotic pressure
