Question

A hypertonic solution:_______. a hypertonic solution:_______. will induce cell swelling will induce no net movement of water will induce cell shrinkage will induce cell bursting submit

Answer 1

Hypertonic solution: higher concentration outside of cell = lower water potential = water exits cell, cell shrink (crenated-animal cell, flaccid/plasmolysed-plant cell)

Hypotonic solution: lower concentration outside cell =higher water potential = water enters cell, cell swell (animal cell - burst,plant cell - turgid)
