Hi there.
00:04
This question is about three vocabulary terms, hypotonic solutions, isotonic solutions, and hypertonic solutions.
00:13
So let's define each of these terms before moving forward.
00:16
Let's start with hypotonic.
00:22
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell.
00:36
So in each of these definitions, we are looking at the solution as something that we are placing a cell into.
00:42
So if we place a cell into a hypotonic solution, that solution has a lower solute concentration than the cell.
00:54
An isotonic solution from iso, meaning the same, has the same solute concentration as the cell.
01:15
And a hypertonic solution, as you can guess, is going to have a greater solute concentration than the cell.
01:38
Okay, so we need to categorize each of these statements.
01:42
And it looks like it says something about nine statements, but only seven statements are showing up in this photo.
01:48
So i am starting with the one that says flushing human cells, which are 0 .9 % saline, with saline solution for storing contact lenses.
01:59
So that first one there about contact lens solution that is purposefully made to be the same concentration.
02:12
So it is isotomic.
02:15
So we would place it under the isotonic category.
02:27
Okay, the next one after that.
02:28
It says when soaked in this type of solution, water molecules will leave the cell via osmosis causing it to shrink.
02:37
So when the cell shrinks, that tells us that we have placed it into a hypertonic solution, one that has a higher salute concentration than the cell.
02:55
So water will leave trying to equalize the concentrations.
03:04
Okay, the next one says when soaked in this type of solution, water molecules will enter cell, causing it to swell.
03:13
So when the cell swells, that's going to be the result of us putting it into a hypotonic solution.
03:31
So water will flow into the cell because there's a higher concentration of water in a hypotonic solution because there's not as much solute dissolved...
