A hypertonic solution has:
Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell
More water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell
The same number of water molecules inside and outside of the cell
No water inside or outside of the cell

Respuesta :

A hypertonic solution has:

Fewer water molecules outside the cell than are inside the cell. Thus, option "A" is correct.

What is hypertonic solution?

  1. The cell is in a hypertonic solution because it lost water through osmosis and shrunk.
  2. A hypertonic solution contains more solute molecules compared to solvent molecules while the hypotonic solution has more solvent molecules than solute molecules.
  3. When a plant cell is placed in a hypertonic solution it loses water through osmosis and shrinks.
  4. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution absorbs water through osmosis, increases in size and then bursts. Plant cell, on the other hand, does not burst when placed in a hypotonic solution as it contains a cellulose cell wall.

Thus, option "A" is correct.
