Question

if a cell has a solute concentration of 0.07%, which of the following solution would be hypotonic to the cells?

a) 0.01% solute
b) 0.1% solute
c) 1% solute
d) 10% solute

Answer 1

Hey, Option A will be the answer.
hypotonic means, Medium surrounding cell should have more water potential than cell.

Cell has 99.93% of water

only option A has more %of water among given options.
lets us see % of water in each of the option.
A) 99.99% water- endosmosis occur .means medium is hypotonic
B)99.90% Water-Exosmosis occur. means medium is hypertonic
C) 99.00% water-Exosmosis occur. means medium is hypertonic
D)90% water-Exosmosis occur. means medium is hypertonic

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

Answer 2

Option (a) is correct
