ISOTONIC HYPERTONIC HYPOTONIC

This animal cell is in a ____________ solution.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

This animal cell is in a __________________ solution.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

This animal cell is in a ____________ solution.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

The plant cell on the far right is in a ________________ solution.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

What type of solution allows water to enter the plant cell?

• hypotonic solution
• hypertonic solution
• isotonic solution
• active transport

What type of solution is the blue cell immersed in?

• isotonic - water moves in and out equally

• hypertonic - water will move out of the cell

• hypotonic - water will move into the cell

Answer explanation

Remember, water will move to the area where the concentration of SOLUTE is higher. If they are equal concentrations on both sides, then water moves both ways equally.

Where will the water go?

• Out of cell - solution in beaker is HYPERtonic

• Out of cell - solution in beaker is HYPOtonic

• Into cell - solution in beaker is HYPERtonic

• Into cell - solution in beaker is HYPOtonic

Answer explanation

Remember, water moves to the area where SOLUTE concentration is higher

In the image, the water will move 

• into the cell.
• out of the cell.
• both in and out of the cell.
