What is a hypertonic solution?
|
A solution more dilute than inside the cell
|
|
A solution more concentrated than inside the cell
|
|
A solution with the same concentration as in the cell
|
|
None of the above

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -If the surrounding solution has a higher solute concentration compared to inside the cell, then it is called a hypertonic solution. Or if the surrounding solution has low solvent concentration compared to the inside of the cell, then it is hypertonic solution.
Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Hypertonic solution: A solution having a higher concentration of solute outside as compared to outside the cell is called hypertonic solution.
