Question

If a 0 9% solution is isotonic to a certain type of animal cell,
the cell will lose mass if it is placed in
which of the following liquids?
(1) 0 5% salt solution (2) 0 9% salt solution
(3) 1 2% salt solution (4) distilled (pure) water

Mushtaq Ahmed · Accepted Answer

The correct option is (3)

The 1 2% solution represents hypertonic solution as compared to the
0 9% solution of cell Thus, water will move out of the cell by
osmosis and result in shrinking of cell or loss of cell mass

If a 0.9% solution is isotonic to a certain type of animal cell, the cell will lose mass if it is placed inwhich of the following liquids?(1) 0.5% salt solution (2) 0.9% salt solution(3) 1.2% salt solution (4) distilled (pure) water
