A cell with a solute concentration of 10% is placed in a beaker of water with a solute concentration of 20%. Which of the following statements correctly describes the tonicity of the environment the cell is placed in? Draw out the set up to help determine the answer. A. hypotonic because there is a higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside

B. hypertonic because there is a higher water concentration outside the cell than inside

C. hypotonic because there is a higher water concentration inside the cell than outside

D. hypertonic because there is a higher water concentration inside the cell than outside

I’m not exactly sure what your trying to ask, but if it’s how an organelle is similar to a body system or a part a nucleus is like a in function. but i don’t fully understand what you’re trying to ask

Na+ loss through sweet plus the dilution has lowered na+ concentration outside of neurons, altering the na+ equilibrium potential. sodium exists more outside the cells than inside. when na+ is lost by sweat plus the dilution( because they drink a lot of water) changes the concentration outside the cell, forcing the water to enter the cell and attempt to balance the concentration inside/outside.the problem is that the abundance of water will cause the cells to swell. most cells can adapt, however, the brain cells can't that's why the runner has confusion and can't control the muscles.  if not treated and this occurs in less than 48 hours, it can be immediately fatal .
