question 12
in a, the cell is select
in a, water will to the environment.
in b, the cell is select
in b, water will to the environment.
in c, the cell is select
in c, water will to the environment.
select isotonic hypertonic hypotonic
Osmosis principles are at play. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell causing it to shrink. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell causing it to swell. Without seeing the cell - shape changes in A, B, and C clearly, we assume typical scenarios. If the cell in A looks normal, it's isotonic; if it's shrinking, hypertonic; if swelling, hypotonic.

Without seeing the actual cell - state in A, B, and C clearly, we can't give definite answers. But if A is normal - shaped: In A, the cell is isotonic, water will not have net movement to the environment. If B is shrinking: In B, the cell is hypertonic, water will move out of the cell. If C is swelling: In C, the cell is hypotonic, water will move into the cell.
