Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
Which salt solution is more likely to be isotonic to the intracellular fluids of a potato?
.5%
What type of solutions are better than the other hyper-tonic or hypo-tonic for bacteria. why?
Hypertonic solutions are heavily saturated with sugar, since the concentration is higher on the outside of the cell than the inside osmosis will occur by transfering water to the outside of the cell in an attempt to establish an equilibrium. if the solution is hypotonic the direction of osmosis is likely to be towards the cell because the cells concentration is greater than its surroundings, thus is won't be dehydrated. In conclusion hypertonic solutions don't allow bacteria to thrive as easily.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
What would most likely happen to a unicellular organism if it was exposed to a hypotonic solution for an extended period of time?
The organism would swell and then burst.
What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
What is isotonic hypotonic hypertonic solutions?
Isotonic is when the cell is the same concentration as the surrounding solution. Hypotonic is when the cell is more concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves in. Hypertonic is when the cell is less concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves out.
What would happen to your cell if a hypotonic solution is place directly into your blood stream?
Swell and possibly burst depending on how hypotonic the solution was and how much of it was injected. However the human body has evolved many simple and complex ways to deal with these situations and therefore a small amount of hypotonic solution will likely cause no effect to your cells.
Which solution would most likely cause a plant placed in it to become firmer and more rigid?
hypertonic
Is a hypertonic solution is likely to contain many electrolytes?
Yes, solutions with a high percentage of electrolytes would be considered hypertonic.

Why do plant cell function better in hypotonic conditions better than in hypertonic conditions?
Since plant cells have cell walls, the osmotic pressure that results from their being in a hypotonic solution will not be as likely to cause the cell to lyse. Animal cells simply swell until they lyse.
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell shrinks what should be assumed about the solution?
The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.
What would most likely happen to a onion cell of it were placed in a liquid with a concentration of solutes?
In a hypotonic environment, an onion cell will fill up with water. Hypotonic refers to a solution that has lower osmotic pressure than the solution you're comparing it to.
When a membrane expands and burst what problem is it most likely having?
Either it was placed in an hypotonic solution or you drank too much water.
Which tissue most likely be in glands?
Epithelial tissues are in the glands.
