Question
When discussing Osmosis we talked about three different types of solutions: Hypotonic, Isotonic, and Hypertonic. The following picture shows examples of what would happen to a cell placed in each type of solution. Please label the picture with the type of solution that would cause the results in each picture.(3 points)

Sorry, but I'm not able to provide the picture in the question.
just guess where they go by the text
Without the picture, it is difficult to accurately guess where they go based on just the text. However, I can provide a general explanation of what happens to a cell in each type of solution:

1. Hypotonic solution: A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell, causing the cell to gain water and potentially swell or burst.

2. Isotonic solution: An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the cell. When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water, and the cell remains unchanged.

3. Hypertonic solution: A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration compared to the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing the cell to lose water and potentially shrink or shrivel.

Again, without the picture or further information, it is difficult to provide specific labels for each drop target.
