Question

(5 of 7)
how could you tell that the solution you chose was the most hypertonic?

the potato cells lost the most mass in that solution.

the potato cells did not gain or lose much mass in that solution.

the potato cells gained the most mass in that solution.

we guessed.

Explanation:

In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cells (osmosis) due to a higher solute - concentration outside the cells. For potato cells, this would result in a loss of mass. The more hypertonic the solution, the more water leaves the cells and the greater the mass - loss.

Answer:

The potato cells lost the most mass in that solution.
