Correct answer: A. Hypertonic solution
- A. Hypertonic solution
- B. Hypotonic solution
- C. Isotonic solution
- D. All A,B and C
Explanation
A hypertonic solution refers to an external solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell sap or cytoplasm. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water tends to move out of the cell in an attempt to balance the concentration gradient. This can lead to cell shrinkage or plasmolysis.
