Question

State whether the following statements are true or false.
A hypertonic solution has a water concentration greater than that is found inside the cell.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A hypertonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater at outside than that found in inside. This more amount of solute and net movement of water from inside causes cells to shrink. This leads to higher osmotic pressure and cell shrinkage.

So, the correct statement is 'False'.
