Did water move ino the cell or out of the cell while it was surrounded by the hypotonic solution explain why?

hypotonic means there are fewer solutes so water would flow into the cell.
Hypertonic is the opposite.

Water would move OUT OF a cell surrounded by HYPERTONIC solution
There would be NO NET MOVEMENT of water into or out of a cell surrounded by ISOTONIC solution.
This is so that intra and extracellular fluids can reach equilibrium.
Particles always want to be equal distances apart, so if the particles can't move through a membrane, water will move to create equilibrium.

A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in?
When it is in a hypotonic solution such as distilled water.
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
hypotonic
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution

What is the example of a hypotonic solution?
Distilled water.
In which kind of solution would water move from the solution into the cell?
Hypotonic.
What type of solution is a cell in if water moves into the cell?
It is in a Hypotonic Solution.
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
What happen to the cells in hypotonic solution?
Gains water
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
hypotonic
What happens in a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution. The concentration of total dissolved solutes is not equal on both sides, there will be net movement of water molecules into the cell.
