Question

chapter 4: life is cellular > here comes omicron
water, like all other substances, will move from an area where it is high in concentration to an area of lower concentration. water can pass easily through a cell membrane, while most solutes cannot.
match the three terms to the corresponding images. then select next.
answer choices:
no more answer choices to sort
hypertonic
hypotonic
isotonic

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, there is a higher solute concentration outside the cell, so water moves out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower solute concentration outside the cell, so water moves into the cell. In an isotonic solution, the solute concentration is the same inside and outside the cell, and there is no net movement of water.

Answer:

The first image (where water moves out of the cell) is Hypertonic.
The second image (where water moves into the cell) is Hypotonic.
The third image (where there is no net water - movement) is Isotonic.
