Question

A cell containing 10% sugar is placed in a 5% sugar solution.



(Feel free to sketch a diagram if you need to!)

a. How will the water move?

b. How will the cell size change?

c. Is the solution hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic?

Answer 1

water would move into of the cell through osmosis and would become turgid (plant cell) or burst (animal cell). The solution is hypertonic
