A cell is bathed in solution X.  The cell quickly shrivels.  What term describes solution X (when compared with the cell's fluid)?
 
 
A saline (salt) solution is to injected into a patient.  The salt/water ratio should be adjusted so that the saline solution is ____ to the patients cells.
 
 
Solution Q has a higher water content that solution Z.  Therefore solution Q is ___ to solution Z
 
 
Solution which may cause a cell to lyse.
 
 
When a cell is placed in this type of solution, there will be equal amounts of water moving in and out of the cell at equal rates.
 
 
Solution with a higher solute concentration (less water)
 
 
The concentration of the solute in the solution is lower than the concentration inside the cell.
 
 
When a cell is placed in this solution, water will enter the cell by osmosis causing it to swell.
