Can you help me with this practice question? 

**Osmosis and Solution Concentrations: Understanding Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic Solutions** When studying the movement of water across cell membranes, it's essential to understand the concepts of hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. Here's an example to illustrate these ideas: If solution A, which is outside of a bacterium cell, has a higher salt concentration in comparison to inside the cell, solution A is [Select an option from the drop-down: isotonic, hypertonic, hypotonic] compared to the bacterium cell. Water will [Select an option from the drop-down]. For further understanding: 1. **Isotonic Solution**: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is equal to the concentration inside the cell. Water movement is balanced. 2. **Hypertonic Solution**: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is higher than inside the cell. Water will move out of the cell, potentially causing the cell to shrivel. 3. **Hypotonic Solution**: The concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell. Water will move into the cell, which may cause the cell to swell and possibly burst. In this context, understanding which type of solution is present can help predict the direction of water movement and the subsequent effect on the bacterium cell. Select the appropriate term from the drop-down menu to complete the statement correctly.
