To determine if a cell is in a hypertonic or hypotonic environment, we need to compare the solute concentration inside and outside the cell. If the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, the cell is in a hypertonic environment. If the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, the cell is in a hypotonic environment.

A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
That is called a hypertonic solution. In this situation, water tends to move out of the cell, causing it to shrink or shrivel.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
The solution is said to be hypertonic to the cell. This means that there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell in order to balance the concentration, which can lead to cell dehydration.
A solution that contains a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of a cell is called?
This cell would be described as hypotonic. That means the higher osmotic pressure is in the cell and it is swollen because water is going down its concentration gradient into the cell and is less concentrated out side the cell.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What causes hypertonic and hypotonic?
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.

Is gram positive hypertonic or hypotonic?
Neither. The structure of the gram negative cell wall protects the cell from hypotonic solutions. Is this what you were asking?
How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution the same?
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
The solution is said to be hypertonic to the cell. This means that there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell in order to balance the concentration, which can lead to cell dehydration.
How is hypotonic and hypertonic differ?
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
If extracellular fluid around a cell is hypotonic then the cytoplasm within the cell is what?
the outside would be hypertonic.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the-?
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.
Is corn syrup hypertonic or hypotonic?
Corn syrup is a hypertonic solution because cells are moving out instead of in, and the cell is shrinking.
