If a cell lives in a hypotonic environment, what will occur if is placed in a hypertonic one? Answer for the opposite case as well. I have posted this question twice and I get the definition of both solutions which I already know it. Can someone help me Thank you.

Expert Solution

Hypotonic solution means the solute content is very low.

Hypertonic solution means the solute content is high

Condition 1

If a cell lives in a hypotonic environment, if it is placed in a hypertonic one, then the cell will shrink.

Because by osmosis the solute from environment enters the cell

Condition 2

If the cell lives in hypertonic, if it is placed in hypotonic environment,it will bulg as the water from environment enters the cell.

Q: When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water moves by osmosis into the cell, making it swell. True or False Q: Diffusion is the movement of molecules from a low concentration gradient to a high concentration gradient. True or False Q: Even if you are dying of thirst, you should not drink salt water, as this will dehydrate you further. This is because salt water is a(n) ____________ solution relative to our cells.
