Question

inside the cell. therefore, there is more water inside the cell. since water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, the water will diffuse out of the cell and into the solution. the solution is an example of

a hypertonic solution.

an isotonic solution.

a hypotonic solution.

rewatch

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cell. Here, the solution outside has 20% salt while the cell has 10% salt, so water diffuses out. In an isotonic solution, solute - water concentrations are equal inside and outside the cell, and in a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside is lower than inside.

Answer:

a hypertonic solution.
