Questions
What is an isotonic solution?
- A solution whose water concentration is lower than the internal concentration.
- A solution whose water concentration is same as compared to internal concentration.
- A solution whose water concentration is more than the internal concentration.
- None of the above.

Solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell is a
- Hypertonic solution
- Isotonic solution
- Hypotonic solution
- Both A and C
If a cell is in a hypotonic environment, this means

- There is an equal amount of solutes inside as outside the cell
- There is more solute outside the cell than in the cell
- There is less solute outside the cell than inside of the cell
