Use the accompanying image to select the correct terms in the statements below each of the cells shown. (a) This red blood cell is in a(n) (hypertonic / hypotonic / isotonic) solution. (b) In this environment, normal red blood cells (gain / lose / neither gain nor lose) water. (c) The total solute concentration outside the cell is (lower than / higher than / equal to) the total solute concentration inside it. (d) This red blood cell is in a(n) (hypertonic / hypotonic / isotonic) solution. (e) In this environment, normal red blood cells (gain / lose / neither gain nor lose) water. (f) The total solute concentration outside the cell is (lower than / higher than / equal to) the total solute concentration inside it. (g) This red blood cell is in a(n) (hypertonic / hypotonic / isotonic) solution. (h) In this environment, normal red blood cells (gain / lose / neither gain nor lose] water. (i) The total solute concentration outside the cell is (lower than / higher than $/$ equal to ) the total solute concentration inside it.
Potato cells that are placed in distilled water for 24 hours get longer. Which of the following correctly describes the potato cell cytoplasm relative to the distilled water surrounding the potato? Group of answer choices: 1) isotonic 2) hypotonic 3) hypertonic 4) none of the choices are correct Humans cannot drink salt water because of which of the following reasons? Group of answer choices: 1) salt water is okay for humans to drink 2) salt water is hypertonic to human cells and will cause them to dehydrate 3) salt water is hypotonic to human cell cytoplasm causing the cells to gain water and burst 4) all of the choices are correct
