Applying Osmosis On the inside of a cell, it is 75% water and 25% salt. On the outside of the cell it is 60% water, 40% salt.

A. Will water move into or out of the cell?

B. Will the cell shrink or will it swell?

C. Is the solution outside of the cell hypertonic or hypotonic?

Please help me with this! I will mark the right answer brainliest!

a. Water will move out of the cell

b. Shrink

c. Hypertonic solution

Explanation:

a. The scenario given shows that there is greater concentration of solutes outside the cell than the concentration of solutes inside the cell because there is 75% water inside the cell and 60% water outside the cell. So by osmotic pressure, water moves out of the cell.

b. Once the cell loses water it would shrink

c. It is an hypertonic solution because the concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than the concentration of solutes inside the cell.
