Given the results, which of the following statements is accurate?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking us to analyze the results of an experiment involving plant cell samples in different solutions. It requires us to deduce the accuracy of a statement regarding whether solutions are hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic to the plant cells based on the percent change in mass over time.
Answer
Solution A was hypotonic to the plant cells.
The final answer is that Solution A was hypotonic to the plant cells.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is that Solution A was hypotonic to the plant cells.
More Information
In a hypotonic solution, cells gain water and increase in mass, as seen with Cell Sample A. Conversely, Solution B caused a decrease in mass, indicating it's hypertonic.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing hypotonic with hypertonic. Remember, hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water, leading to a decrease in mass.
