Question

I have to answer for 10 but not sure how to explain 9. A red blood cell has an intracellular concentration of 300 mOsM of nonpenetrating solute. Which of the following best describes a solution containing 150 mM NaCl and 100 mM urea relative to the cell? Con a. hyperosmotic, hypotonic b. hyposmotic, hypotonic c. isosmotic, hypotonic d. hyperosmotic, isotonic otiesolutionea behypotoniceenals. Explain 10. Use Fig 5-3 from the book to fill out the table, then answer the questions. A. An isosmotic solution can be hypotonic Trug/False. Explain! B. A hyposmotic solution can be hypertonic True/false Explair Isotonlc Hypertonlc

Explanation / Answer

A. true. Isoosmotic is a situation that arises when the water on both sides is in equilibrium. However, the water may be in equilibrium the corresponding solute might not be, it can be a hypotonic solution in which situation the solutes will move to reach isotonicity.

B. Hypoosmotic means less water and more solute which basically is hypertonicity. This is true too.
