Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic

What is the characteristic of a hypertonic solution in terms of solute concentration?

• Equal solute concentration

• No solute concentration

• Higher solute concentration

• Lower solute concentration

How does a hypertonic solution affect cells?

• It causes the cell to shrink or shrivel

• It causes the cell to burst

• It has no effect on the cells

• It causes the cell to swell

What is the characteristic of a hypotonic solution in terms of solute concentration?

• Higher than the concentration inside the cell

• Equal to the concentration inside the cell

• Lower than the concentration inside the cell

• Unrelated to the concentration inside the cell

How does a hypotonic solution affect cells?

• Cells remain unchanged

• Cells swell and potentially burst

• Cells become more rigid and strong

• Cells shrink and potentially collapse

What is the characteristic of an isotonic solution in terms of solute concentration?

• Higher concentration of solutes

• Lower concentration of solutes

• No solutes present

• Equal concentration of solutes

How does an isotonic solution affect cells?

• It has no effect on the cell

• It does not cause the cell to shrink or swell.

• It causes the cell to shrink
