Osmosis (Hypertonic, Hypotonic & Isotonic)

You put a cell into a solution, the cell grows. Is the solution hypotonic or hypertonic to the cell? 

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

• not enough information

An ISOTONIC solution has a(n) ______________ concentration of solute (dissolved stuff) than inside the cell.

• lower

• equal

• higher

A HYPOTONIC solution has a ______________ concentration of solute (dissolved stuff) than inside the cell.

• lower

• equal

• higher

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
