Question

This model shows a plant cell in a solution. Solutions can be hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic to the cell. Which one of the solutions tested demonstrates the water movement shown in the model?

Answer 1

C) distilled water and vinegar

Step-by-step explanation:

Distilled water and vinegar are hypotonic solutions.

The model shows water moving from the solution into the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the amount of solutes in the cell is higher than that of the solution, causing water to move INTO the cell.

Both the egg in the vinegar and the egg in the distilled water (which has no solutes) gained mass, indicating that water moved into each of them.
