Question

OSMOSIS practice

Directions: Below are beakers full of a solution with a cell inside. The % solute is stated for the
solution in the beaker as well for as inside the cell. Some beakers/cells also have the water %
stated. If it doesn't, fill it in. Determine if the solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic. Then,
state which direction the water will move. It will either move into the cell, out of the cell, or equally
in and out of the cell. Lastly, state what will happen to the size of the cell. It will either increase,
decrease, or stay the same.

Answer 1

Answer: The first one is:

Isotonic

Go back and forth

Stay the same

Second one is:

hypertonic

go out

shrink

Third one is:

Hypotonic

go in

swell

4th one is:

Hypotonic

go in

swell

Step-by-step explanation:

Isotonic means the cell is in equilibrium. Hypertonic means the cell has more solute on the outside compared to the inside. Hypotonic means the cell has more solute on the inside compared to the outside.
