Three Types of Solutions: Choose all that are named in this worksheet.
Isotonic
Hypotonic
Hypertonic
Aqueous
Saturated
Isotonic Solution: Water moves in and out of the cell at the same rate. What phrase best completes this statement for both cells?
Dynamic equilibrium
Active transport
Bulk flow
Pinocytosis
In an isotonic solution, which description best fits the direction of water movement relative to the cell?
Enters and leaves at equal rates
Only enters the cell
Only leaves the cell
Does not move at all
Hypotonic Solution: Water moves ______ the cell; the cell gets ______. Select the best completion.
into; larger (swollen)
into; smaller (shriveled)
out of; larger (swollen)
out of; smaller (shriveled)
Hypotonic effect on animal cells: Which statement best matches the worksheet?
It is harmful for animal cells and may cause lysis (cell breaking).
It is beneficial for animal cells and increases turgor pressure.
It has no effect on animal cells.
It causes plasmolysis in animal cells.
Hypotonic effect on plant cells: Which statement best matches the worksheet?
It is good for plant cells because turgor pressure makes the cell rigid.
It is bad for plant cells because it causes plasmolysis.
It causes crenation of plant cells.
It leaves plant cells flaccid with no pressure.
Hypertonic Solution: Water moves ______ the cell; the cell shrinks. Select the best completion.
out of
into
randomly within
both into and out of at equal rates
Hypertonic effect on animal cells: Which term best describes this condition for animal cells according to the worksheet?
Harmful; crenation (cells lose water and shrink)
Beneficial; turgid state
Neutral; no size change
Cytolysis (cells burst)
Hypertonic effect on plant cells: Which description best matches the worksheet?
Harmful; plasmolysis (cell loses rigid structure and shrinks)
Beneficial; increased turgor pressure
Neutral; cell remains normal size
Crenation of plant cells increases rigidity
