Osmosis Practice Problems

A solution that has a greater number of solutes outside and a lower number of solutes inside the cell.

Hypertonic

A solution that has a greater number of solutes inside the cell than outside the cell.

Hypotonic

There is 70% water inside the cell and 85% water outside the cell. The water is moving into the cell. It is a Hypotonic Solution

A cell has 30% salt on the inside and 85% water the outside. Where is the water moving? Is it a hyper, hypo or Isotonic solution?

There is 10% water inside the cell and 75% water outside the cell. The water will move inside the cell. The cell is in Hypotonic Solution.

A cell has 90% NaCl on the inside and 75% water on the outside. Which direction is the water moving.? Is it a hyper, hypo or isotonic solution?

There is 85% water inside the cell The water is moving out of the cell and its a hypotonic solution.

A cell has a 15% glucose solution on the inside and a 20% glucose solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

The cell and environment both contain 55% water concentrations. The cell is isotonic and has no net movement.

A cell has a 45% glucose solution on the inside and a 45% glucose solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

The cell will contain 55% water and the environment will have 25% water so water will move out of the cell and its a hypertonic solution

A cell has a 45% sucrose solution on the inside and a 75% sucrose solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

The cell will contain 95% water and the environment will contain 94% water. The water will move out of the cell it is a Hypertonic Solution.

A cell has a 5% glucose solution on the inside and a 6% glucose solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

The water will have no net movement because there is an equal amount of 50% on both sides. It is an isotonic solution.

A cell has a 50% glucose solution on the inside and a 50% glucose solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

There is 24% water in both the environment and the cell. It is a isotonic Solution because there is no net movement.

A cell has a 76% Salt on the inside and a 76% Salt solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

The cell has a 20% water concentration and the environment has an 80% water concentration. Water will move into the cell it is a Hypotonic Solution.

A cell has a 80% salt solution on the inside and a 20% salt solution on the outside. How much water is found inside the cell? Which Direction is the water moving? Is it a Hyper, Hypo or Isotonic solution?

A solution that has an equal amount of solutes inside and outside of the cell.

Isotonic
