A cell that has a 1% NaCl (salt) solution inside the cell. The cell is placed
in an environment that is a 3% NaCl (salt) solution. The solute cannot move.
Create an argument about what will happen to the cell that is in this
environment. Remember, that the easiest way to create an argument is to
create a CER. (Hint: Set this up as a CER).



Answer :

The cell in question will lose water to its environment because it is hypotonic to its surrounding environment.

What is an hypotonic solution?

An hypotonic solution is a solution that have a lower osmotic pressure than another solution i.e. it has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.

According to the osmotic principle, water will move from a region of lower concentration of solute to a region of higher concentration of solute across a semipermeable membrane.

In this question, a cell that has a 1% NaCl (salt) solution inside the cell is placed in an environment that is a 3% NaCl (salt) solution.

This means that the cell is hypotonic to the solution in the environment, therefore, it will lose water to its environment.
