Question

Recall what you know about hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. What happens to the cell in a hypotonic solution?(1 point)
Responses

The cell has more solute than its environment, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside the cell, causing the cell to swell.

The cell has less solute that its environment, so solvent moves from inside the cell to outside the cell, causing the cell to shrink. 
The cell has less solute that its environment, so solvent moves from inside the cell to outside the cell, causing the cell to shrink. 

The cell and the environment have an equal amount of solute, so there is no net movement of solvent in and out of the cell.

In a hypotonic solution, the cell has more solute than its environment, which means that the concentration of water (solvent) is higher outside the cell than inside. As a result, water moves into the cell in an attempt to balance the solute concentrations. This influx of water causes the cell to swell, and in some cases, it may even lead to the cell bursting (lysis) if the difference in solute concentration is significant enough.

So the correct response is:
**The cell has more solute than its environment, so solvent moves from outside the cell to inside the cell, causing the cell to swell.**

If eukaryotes all came about due to endosymbiosis, the result would be:

**similar structures in eukaryotes with slight variations depending on their use.**

This is because endosymbiosis suggests that certain organelles, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, originated from free-living prokaryotes that were engulfed by ancestral eukaryotic cells, leading to a diversity of eukaryotic life forms with similar yet slightly different structures and functions.

The type of microscope that allows us to see organic specimens at the atomic level is the **scanning tunneling microscope**.

Therefore, the correct response is:

**scanning tunneling microscope**.

The unique function of central vacuoles in a plant cell is:

**they store water.**

Central vacuoles help maintain turgor pressure against the cell wall, which is essential for plant structure and growth. They can also store other substances, but their primary role is in water storage.

Neurotransmitter release is an example of **paracrine signaling**.

In paracrine signaling, signaling molecules (like neurotransmitters) are released from one cell and affect nearby cells. Therefore, the correct response is:

**paracrine signaling**.
