Answer 1

To match the tonicity terms (hypotonic, isotonic, hypertonic) with their corresponding illustrations of what happens to a cell, here are general descriptions for each type of tonicity:

1. Hypotonic: In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than that inside the cell. This can cause water to move into the cell, potentially leading to swelling or bursting (lysis).

2. Isotonic: In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell. There is no net movement of water, so the cell maintains its shape and size.

3. Hypertonic: In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than that inside the cell. This causes water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage (crenation).

To find the correct diagrams for each term, you should look for:

• Hypotonic: A diagram showing a swollen or bursting cell.
• Isotonic: A diagram showing a normal cell with no change in size.
• Hypertonic: A diagram showing a shriveled or small cell.

Using these descriptions, match them to the corresponding diagrams for your quiz. If you have the diagrams available, apply this information to select the correct matches.
