Question

write the correct type of solution underneath (isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic)

Explanation:

Step1: Compare solute concentration in A

There are more solute particles inside the cell than outside. In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside is lower than inside the cell. So A is a hypotonic solution.

Step2: Compare solute concentration in B

There are more solute particles outside the cell than inside. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside is higher than inside the cell. So B is a hypertonic solution.

Step3: Compare solute concentration in C

The number of solute particles is equal inside and outside the cell. In an isotonic solution, the solute concentration is the same inside and outside the cell. So C is an isotonic solution.

Answer:

A. Hypotonic
B. Hypertonic
C. Isotonic
