In which type of solution is the concentration of solutes the same inside and outside of the cell?
A
Hypotonic solution
B
Isotonic solution
C
Hypertonic solution
D
Supersaturated solution
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the definitions of the different types of solutions: Hypotonic, Isotonic, Hypertonic, and Supersaturated.
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move into the cell.
A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell.
An isotonic solution has equal concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
A supersaturated solution contains more solute than can be dissolved by the solvent under normal circumstances, which is not related to cell environments.
