Question

When the solution concentration on the outside of a cell is greater than the solution concentrate on the inside of the cell, what type of solution is the cell within?

A. Hydrotonic
B. Hypertonic
C. Hydratonic
D. Hypotonic

Answer 1

A. Hypertonic solution

Answer 2

Hypertonic

Step-by-step explanation:

The solution with lesser solute concentration than the other solution is said to be the hypotonic solution. The other solution with more solute concentration is called a hypertonic solution. A higher concentration of solution outside the cell makes it hypertonic. The solution inside the cell is hypotonic as it has lesser solute concentration. Here, solution concentration represents the concentration of the solute present in the solvent.
