Hi Ms.pepalla happy reading ;-)
Explanation:
A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane.
Example:-An example of a hypertonic solution is the interior of a red blood cell compared with the solute concentration of fresh water.
If a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, there will be a net flow of water into the cell, and the cell will gain volume.
Example:- Hypotonic solutions are commonly used to give fluids intravenously to hospitalized patients in order to treat or avoid dehydration.
