Unit 6 Lesson 6 Exit Ticket- Hypertonic, Hypotonic, Isotonic

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.

Front

What is a hypotonic solution?

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell, causing water to move into the cell, leading to cell swelling.

Front

What is an isotonic solution?

Back

An isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as the inside of the cell, resulting in no net movement of water and the cell maintaining its size.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell will lose water and shrink.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

Back

The cell will gain water and swell.

Front

What happens to a cell in an isotonic solution?

Back

The cell will remain the same size.

Front

If celery sticks are placed in salt water, what type of solution is this?

Back

This is a hypertonic solution.

Front

What will happen to celery sticks placed in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The celery sticks will lose water and become limp.

Front

Define osmosis.

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

What is the effect of a hypotonic solution on plant cells?

Back

Plant cells will swell and become turgid due to water intake.
