Question

A cell with normal tonicity is placed in a 200 mm nacl solution. This solution is ________ and the cell will ________.

Answer 1

The concentration of a cell is generally 0.15 M (0.9 % NaCl)

As given the solution has concentration = 200mm = 0.02 M

This concentration of solution is less than the concentration of cell

Hence solution is hypotonic (less concentration) and cell will be hypertonic
