Step-by-step solution
- Isotonic solution (A): This solution has the same concentration of solute as another solution, meaning there is no net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. This is important for maintaining cell stability in biological systems. - Hypertonic solution (B): A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute compared to another solution. In a biological context, if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink. - Hypotonic solution (C): A hypoto
