A 300 mOsm cell is placed in a 550 mOsm solution The solute

A 300 mOsm cell is placed in a 550 mOsm solution. The solute particles inside the cell are different from those outside the cell. None of the solute particles inside the cell are permeant to the membrane. All of the solute particles in the surrounding solution are permeant to the membrane. Describe the surrounding solution.

Solution

Answer:

hyperosmotic and hypertonic

Explanation: Hyperosmotic solution will have the greater concentration of solute than the solution across the membrane. If the extracellular fluid has greater amounts of solutes than the cytoplasm, the extracellular fluid is said to be hypertonic.
