hypotonic solution

hypotonic solution

Hypotonic Solution

• Hypotonic: The solution has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of water than inside the cell. 

• Result: Water moves from the solution to inside the cell): Cell Swells and bursts open 

Hypertonic Solution

• Hypertonic: The solution has a higher concentration of solutes and a lower concentration of water than inside the cell. 

• Result: Water moves from inside the cell into the solution:  Cell shrinks 

Multiple Choice

The arrows in this diagram of a cell in hypertonic solution show

• the flow of energy

• the direction water molecules will move

• the direction protein molecules will diffuse

Multiple Choice

If a cell is placed in a HYPOTONIC solution, water will move _________ of the cell, causing it to ___________.

• into, swell
• out of, shrivel
• in and out of the cell, stay the same

Multiple Choice

This egg has shrunk (gotten smaller), what type of solution was it placed in?

• hypotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

• isotonic solution

• active transport

Isotonic Solution

• The concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cell.

• Water moves equally in both directions and the cell remains same size! 

Multiple Choice
