A. Complete the table. Identify the solution outside or inside the cell based on
tonicity.

Condition Types of Solution Types of Solution Effect on

Inside the Cell Outside the cell The Cell
1. Solute
concentration is Hypertonic Hypertonic Causing the
greater in the Solution Solution cell to shrink
cellular environment

2. Solute
concentration is Hypotonic Hypotonic Causing the
lower in the cellular Solution Solution cell to swell
environment and possibly
explode

3. Solute
concentrations Isotonic Isotonic The cell’s
inside and outside Solution Solution volume will
the cell are equal remain stable
