Question

When the solution concentration on the outside of the cell is greater than the solution concentrate on the inside of the cell what type of solution is the cell within

Answer 1

The solution would be hypertonic.

A hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside.

Answer 2

Outside it is hypertonic, whereas inside it is hypotonic solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can classify the solution into three types:

Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.

If a cell is placed in a solution where the concentration of solutes is more outside than inside, then the cell is said to be hypotonic with respect to cell exterior.

If a cell is placed in a solution where the concentration of solutes is less outside than inside, then the cell is said to be hypertonic with respect to cell exterior.

If the solute concentration is same both inside and outside the cell then the cell is said to be isotonic with the exterior solution.

Water always moves from low solute concentration to higher solute concentration across the semipermeable membrane to bring it to equilibrium.
