Question

A plant cell is placed in a salt solution, and the following observation is recorded:

A normal plant cell is on the left. The plant cell wall is visible, and the internal structure fills the cell up to the cell wall. In the middle is an arrow pointing from left to right. On the right is a plant cell. This plant cell has a cell wall the same size as the first plant cell, but the internal structures are shrunken in comparison to the first cell.

Which answer choice describes the most likely concentration of the solution?

Hypertonic
Hypotonic
Isotonic
Osmotic

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a simple way to look it it is:

Hypertonic would be when the insides are shrunk (arrows point out)

Hypotonic when its full (Arrows point in)

Isotonic is at balance (arrows point out and in)

osmotic: the passage of a liquid through a membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one (equal concentrations)

Although I'm not sure which image I'm supposed to be describing, but hope it helps you figure out the answer
