Question
label the tonicity for each solution (isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic):
Isotonic solutions have equal solute - solvent concentration to the cell, causing no net water movement. Hypotonic solutions have lower solute concentration than the cell, leading to water moving into the cell. Hypertonic solutions have higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. By observing the direction of water movement and cell shape changes, we can determine tonicity.

(Without seeing the actual water - movement arrows and cell - shape details clearly, assuming typical scenarios)
- If the cell has no change in shape and no net water movement indication, it is isotonic.
- If the cell is swelling or water is moving into the cell, it is hypotonic.
- If the cell is shrinking or water is moving out of the cell, it is hypertonic.
- If the cell has no change in shape and no net water movement indication, it is isotonic.
- If the cell is swelling or water is moving into the cell, it is hypotonic.
- If the cell is shrinking or water is moving out of the cell, it is hypertonic.
