QUESTION 8 Tonicity is best described as Whether a solute will cross the plasma membrane or not. The overall concentration of a solute in a solvent. The effect that a solution has on whether water enters or leaves a cell that is suspended in that solution. The relative concentration of solutes inside the cell compared to solute concentration outside of a cell.
