Question

______________ describes the amount of solute inside and outside of a cell. The amount of a solute in the environmental solution compared to the amount of solute within the cell. Tonicity or Solvency?

Answer 1

Tonicity describes the amount of solute where as solvency is the amount of the solute that would dissolve in a solution

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer would be tonicity.

Tonicity refers to the measurement of relative solute concentration in two solutions separated by semipermeable membrane.

It determines the water potential and extent and direction of diffusion.

The solution which has higher solute concentration as compared to another is termed as hypertonic and the solution which has lower solute concentration is termed as hypotonic solution.
