Question
All of the statements below are False, apply what you know about membranes, transport, diffusion, and osmosis to correct each statement
1. The inside of the cell is hypertonic because the concentration of solutes is lower than outside.
2. After time has passed and diffusion has already occured the insides of the cell and the outside solution will be isotonic becuause the solutes will be at equilbirum.
3. The cell will get smaller over time because of the loss of sodium and chrloide ions they diffuse out of the cell.
Explanation / Answer
1. The inside of the cell is hypertonic because the concentration of solutes is higher than outside.
2. After time has passed and diffusion has already occured the insides of the cell and the outside solution will be hypotonic becuause the solutes will be at equilbirum.
3. The cell will get smaller over time because of the loss of water they diffuse out of the cell.
