- Q13What movement of water occurs when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?Water moves out of the cellWater moves in and out equallyWater remains in the cellWater moves into the cell30s
- Q14Which solution is characterized by having equal concentrations of solutes and water inside and outside of a cell?IsotonicSubtonicHypotonicHypertonic30s
- Q15In a hypertonic solution, what happens to the cells placed in it?They shrinkThey swellThey remain the same sizeThey burst30s
