Question

Help me please this is already missing and I don't know what to do

The cytoplasm of a cell is a thick solution consisting of water and dissolved salts and proteins.
A cell is placed in a beaker of distilled water, which is pure water with nothing dissolved in it.
a) Explain the relationship between the fluid inside the cell and the fluid in the beaker. Make sure to include the appropriate terms (isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic) in your answer.
b) What will eventually happen to the cell in the beaker?

Answer 1

The cytoplasm of the cell in this case will have a greater Concentration than that of the distilled water, within which it is placed. That would make the water hypotonic,relative to the cytoplasm. Consequently, water would move from where it is more(distilled water) to where it is less(cytoplasm) causing the cell to become enlarged.
