∙ 9y agoHYPOtonic- Less molecules outside than inside.
HYPERtonic- More molecules oustide than inside.
so... the answer is, hypotonic

∙ 14y agoIf the concentration of solute molecules outside the cell is lower than inside, then the external medium is hypotonic to the cytosol , and vice versa.
the external medium is isotonic to cell only if both have the sam concentration of solute.

∙ 13y agowater moves from an area of high concentration of water to and area of low concentration of water this is known as osmosis but if water isn't involved it is called diffusion so there is a high concentration of solvent in the cell this means a low concentration of water so water would move into the cell.

Lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell?
surgar will move into the cell
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 is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
What will happen if a blood cell is placed in a hypertonic salt solution?
A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a high concentration of solute, in this case the solute being salt. When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, since the salt concentration is higher in the outside of the cell, the water concentration is lower there as well. Therefore, through the process of osmosis, the water diffuses from the inside of the cell to the outside of the cell.
The concentration of material is greater on the outside of the cell than the inside in what solution?
A solution in which the salt concentration is greater outside the cell than inside the cell is known as
What if a cell has a lower concentration outside the cell?
There are two basic ways that individual molecules can enter (or leave) a cell.1. Diffusion. This is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration. So if the concentration of the molecule is higher outside the cell it can enter by diffusion. However diffusion can only take place down a concentration gradient ie from a high to a low concentration.2. Active transport. This is the movement of particles against their concentration gradient (ie from a low to a high concentration), using energy provided by the cell (ie ATP produced by respiration). So if a molecule is at a higher concentration inside the cell it can only be absorbed by active transport.
Importance of knowing the concentration of solute and solvent in the cell?
By knowing the concentrations of solute and solvent on the inside and outside of a cell, the direction of osmosis and the result of the cell can be predicted. Solutions on the outside of a cell can be described based on how they affect the cell.
What is one in which the concentration of dissolved materials in the water outside the cell is lower than the concentration inside the cell?

What are the differences between diffusion and osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (water) into a cell where the concentration of a solute is higher, the lower concentration of solute being outside the root cells. Diffusion involves the spreading of a solute from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration within a solvent.Osmosis is made possible by a semi-permeable membrane which allows the solvent in, instead of allowing the solute out.

Are lower concentration of water molecules outside the cell normal?
yes!

surgar will move into the cell
Movement of sodium ions from a region of lower concentration inside a cell toward a region of higher concentration outside the cell is accomplished by?
active transport
What would happen if the concentration of molecules outside the cell was lower than the inside?
the carbon dioxide will move into the cell due to the concentration of carbon dioxide outside of the cell being higher
