How does the concentration of solutes in a hypertonic solution compare to the cell's?

  • A. Same as
  • B. Lower than
  • C. Higher than
  • D. Negative
Correct Answer: C

Rationale: In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher compared to the cell's interior. This causes water to move out of the cell to balance the solute concentrations, resulting in the cell shrinking. Therefore, the correct answer is that the solute concentration is higher in a hypertonic solution than inside the cell.
