Final answer:
Hypertonic means it has more solute than another solution, which is the answer a) more.
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypertonic means it has more solute than another solution. Therefore, the correct answer is a) more.
When comparing two solutions, if one solution has a higher solute concentration, it is considered hypertonic relative to the other. This is because the greater concentration of solutes means there is less water available in the hypertonic solution compared to the other solution with a lower concentration of solutes, which would be hypotonic. Water will tend to move out of a cell placed in a hypertonic solution, which can cause the cell to shrink or crenate.
