Question

A solution that is hypotonic to a cell has
A) more water molecules surrounding the cell than inside the cell
B) more water molecules inside the cell than outside the cell
C) equal water molecules inside and outside the cell
D) None of the above

Answer 1

1.A solution that is hypotonic to a cell has more water molecules surrounding the cell than inside the cell.

2.A solution in which there is a higher concentration of water molecules (solvent) inside a cell than outside a cell is called hypotonic solution.

3. Therefore the answer is option a

Answer 2

A) more water molecules surrounding the cell than inside the cell
