7. A hen's egg with the shell dissolved is placed in a 10% salt solution. Relative
to the interior of the egg the salt solution is
A. Hypotonic
B. Isotonic
C. Hypertonic
D. Semi-permeable

Respuesta :

A) hypertonic because it has higher salt levels than inside

The salt solution is  Hypertonic.

  • Hypertonic fluids contain a higher concentration of solute compared to plasma and interstitial fluid.

What is hypertonic solution?

  • A solution that contains more dissolved particles than is found in normal cells and blood.
  • Cells placed in hypertonic solution will shrink.
  • Water moves from a high water concentration inside the cell to a low water concentration outside of the cell by osmosis.

What is osmosis?

  • Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules to a solution with a lower concentration of water molecules, through a cell's partially permeable membrane.
  • Osmosis is a passive transport process during which water moves from areas where solutes are less concentrated to areas where they are more concentrated.
