Question

Fill in the following table with correct words/ changes or processes.

Solution	Concentration of solutes	Concentration Gradient	Animal Cells	Plant Cells
Isotonic (0.9% NaCl)	Same as living cell	-	-	No Change
Hypotonic (100% Water)	-	-	Cell swells and bursts	Pressure created by excess water stored in vacuole
Hypertonic (100% Nacl)	Higher than the living cell	-	-	-

Answer 1

Solution: Isotonic (0.9% NaCl)

1. The concentration of solutes: Same as a living cell.
2. Concentration Gradient: No gradient.
3. Animal Cells: No Change.
4. Plant Cells: No Change.

Solution: Hypotonic (100% Water)

1. The concentration of solutes: Lower than the living cell.
2. Concentration Gradient: Lower than inside the cell.
3. Animal Cells: Cell swells and bursts.The pressure
4. Plant Cells: Pressure created by excess water stored in the vacuole.

Solution: Hypertonic (100% NaCl)

1. The concentration of solutes: Higher than the living cell.
2. Concentration Gradient: Higher than inside the cell.
3. Animal Cells: Cell shrink and plasmolysis occurs.
4. Plant Cells: Vacuole collapses and plasmolysis occurs.
