Question
letter c represents what kind of solution?
hypotonic
hypertonic
isotonic
Brief Explanations
In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell due to osmosis, causing the cell to shrink. In the image, the red - blood cell in C is shrunken (crenated), which is a characteristic of a cell in a hypertonic solution. In a hypotonic solution, water would move into the cell causing it to swell, and in an isotonic solution, there would be no net movement of water and the cell would maintain its normal shape.
