• 
• 
• 
• 

What will happen to a cell placed in a hypertonic solution?

• The cell will take in too much water and lyse.

• The cell will soon achieve and maintain water balance.

• The cell will lose too much water and eventually die.

• The cell will not allow water to move across the membrane.
