Question

12. Which of the following statements defines a solution? A. B. C. D. A pure compound having one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent A homogeneous mixture having one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent A heterogeneous mixture having one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent A pure compound having a solute and a solvent mixed in a fixed ratio by mass​

Answer 1

The solution in which the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent (water) is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.

In the hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent (water) is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell. If a cell is placed in such solution plasmolysis will occur due to the movement water from cell to the outer environment.
