In a hypertonic solution, a cell's water pressure
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is B Decreases
A Hypertonic solution is a solution with a higher concentration of solutes greater on outside the cell than inside. Since the concentration of water is higher within the cell, there is a net movement of water from inside to outside of the cell (water leaves the cell by osmosis). This causes the cell to shrink as its internal pressure decreases. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
