Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The higher the concentration of dissolved particles in a solution (solute), the ____ the concentration of water molecules in that solution.
A
higher
B
greater
C
lower
D
smaller
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of dissolved particles then a cell. This means that the water concentration is higher inside of the cell then outside of the cell. water flows out of the cell, causing it to shrink or even die.

Detailed explanation-2: -The higher the concentration of dissolved particles that are in a solution, the lower the concentration of water molecules. The reverse is also true. That is, the lower the concentration of dissolved particles that are in a solution, the higher the concentration of water molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -A hypertonic solution is any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids. In a hypertonic solution, the net movement of water will be out of the body and into the solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -Osmosis relates to solute concentration in that when solute concentration is lower, the concentration of solvent is higher, and when the solute concentration is higher, the concentration of solvent is lower.
