MCQ
Which of the following statement defines hypertonic solution:
  • The solution in which the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.
  • B
    The solution in which the concentration of solutes is less and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.
  • C
    The solution in which the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is more as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.
  • D
    The solution in which the concentration of solutes is less and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is more as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.

Answer

Correct option: A.
The solution in which the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.
In the hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is more and the concentration of solvent $($water$)$ is less as compared to the cytoplasm of a specific cell.
If a cell is placed in such a solution plasmolysis will occur due to the movement of water from the cell to the outer environment.
