    Cells placed in a 1.0 M solution would shrivel up as water moves out of the cell. This is because the higher solute concentration outside the cell creates a hypertonic environment, causing water to flow out of the cell to equalize concentrations. In a 0.0 M solution, the cell would gain water since it is hypotonic compared to the solution. Isotonic conditions occur when water can move freely into and out of the cell at an equal rate due to matching concentrations inside and outside the cell.

    Summary #6
    Standards: 2.B.2: a1-3
    If an animal cell was placed into a 1.0 M solution, it would lose water and shrivel up. This I
    because the water wants to move from an area of high concentration to an area of low
    concentration. This is because the solute concentration is higher outside the cell, so in an attempt
    to equalize the water, it will move outside. Compared to a 0.0 M solution, the cell would gain
    water. Therefore, the cell is hypotonic and it is in a hypertonic environment. Isotonic is where the
    movement of water is equally into and out of the cell.
