Question

In a hypertonic solution, the water molecules will move from outside the cell to inside.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Hypertonic refers to a solution with higher osmotic pressure than another solution. In other words, a hypertonic solution is one in which there is a greater concentration or number of solute particles outside a membrane than there are inside it. For both human and plant cells, the water will rush out of the cell, and it will shrivel up.
