In the given scenario, what will happen? An egg with a dissolved shell is placed in pure water for 48 hours.

• Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.

• The egg will gain water and swell.

• The egg will lose water and shrink.

 An animal cell placed in a hypertonic (salty) solution will

• Stay the same

• Shrink- get smaller

• Swell- get bigger

Ideally, your cells should be in a(n) _______ solution to maintain equilibrium.

• isotonic

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isometric

Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is GREATER than inside cell; this promotes a greater flow of water outside the cell thus leading to cell shrinking.

• solvent solution

• isotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

• hypotonic solution

Movement of a solvent (usually water) from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration of the two solutions. No energy required.

• diffusion

• osmosis

• active transport

• facilitated diffusion

Concentration (amount) of solutes is equal on both sides of the cell membrane; this allows the flow of water through the cell membrane to be equal.

• solvent solution

• isotonic solution

• hypotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

Concentration (amount) of solutes OUTSIDE of the cell membrane is LESS than inside the cell; this promotes a greater flow of water inside the cell thus leading to cell bursting.

• solvent solution

• isotonic solution

• hypertonic solution

• hypotonic solution

A cell will __________________ in a hypotonic solution.

• swell and perhaps burst (lyse)

• shrink

• the size of the cell will not change

• the size of the cell will change from large to small and from small to large

After examining this diagram showing the concentration of water inside and outside of the cell, identify the tonicity of the solution.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic
