Question

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution,
A.) solute exists the cell to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane
B.) water exists the cell toward the area of lower solute concentration
C.) water enters the cell toward the area of higher solute concentration
D.) solute exits and water enters the cell

Answer 1

c is the correct option

Answer 2

Hypotonic solution :- It is a solution which have less water in the cell and the external solution is more so the water moves from higher concentration region to lower concentration region . So the cell will swell .

The option is C
