Question

a hypotonic solution will cause an egg (cell) to increase in size. which of the following solutions was the egg in a hypotonic solution? (be careful and consider all answers before choosing!) in the vinegar in the corn syrup in the pure water with food coloring both a & c

Explanation:

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell's interior. Pure water with food - coloring has a very low solute concentration relative to the egg cell, causing water to move into the egg by osmosis and increase its size. Vinegar also has a relatively low solute concentration compared to the egg cell in some cases. Corn syrup is hypertonic as it has a high solute concentration.

Answer:

D. Both A & C
