Question
what would happen to a cell placed in a hypertonic solution the cell would remain the same the cell would dance and do the nay nay! the cell would expand and possibly burst the cell would shrink
In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside. By osmosis, water moves out of the cell to the area of higher solute concentration (outside the cell), causing the cell to lose water and shrink. The other options are incorrect: "remain the same" is for isotonic, "expand and burst" is for hypotonic, and "dance..." is a non - scientific joke.
