question 8
a hypertonic solution will cause _____.
water to evaporate
water to leave the cell
water to equally flow back and forth across the cell membrane

In osmosis, water moves from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. A hypertonic solution has a higher solute - concentration outside the cell compared to inside the cell. So, water will move out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations.
