Question

When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller).

When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get larger).

The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions.


- Isotonic solution
- hypertonic solution
- hypotonic solution

Answer 1

Answer:

- hypotonic solution, hypertonic solution, isotonic solution

Explanation:

• When an animal cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell.
• If an animal cell is placed in a hypertonic environment, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink.
• Our cells in our bodies are made of isotonic solutions.

• See Khan Academy's "Osmosis and tonicity" article for a further explanation!

Answer 2

1) hypotonic (the water concentration is too low for animal cells to survive, outside of the cell has less water than inside the cell so the water from inside of the cell goes to the area of lower concentration, which in this case is outdid of the cell so the cell shrivels)
2) hypertonic (the water concentration is too height for animal cells to survive, the water fills the cell too fast and the cell bursts)
3) isotonic (this is the perfect condition, cells can survive here)
