Sample questions
-
1.Which type of solution causes water to leave a plant cell, resulting in the cell shrinking?
- A.Isotonic solution
- B.Hypotonic solution
- C.Hypertonic solution
- D.Distilled water
-
2.Which of the following correctly describes isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions with reference to osmosis?
- A.Isotonic: equal solute concentration, no net water movement; Hypotonic: higher external solute, water moves out; Hypertonic: lower external solute, water moves in.
- B.Isotonic: equal solute and water concentration, no net water movement; Hypotonic: lower external solute, water moves into the cell; Hypertonic: higher external solute, water moves out of the cell.
- C.Isotonic: water moves out of the cell; Hypotonic: equal solute concentration, no net movement; Hypertonic: water moves into the cell.
- D.Isotonic: higher external solute, water moves in; Hypotonic: lower external solute, water moves out; Hypertonic: equal solute concentration, no net movement.
