1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions. 3. When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get layer)

4. When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller).

5. This is a solution with more solute than the cell.

A) isotonic solution
B) hypertonic solution
C) hypotonic solution

1. The cells in our bodies are surrounded by these types of solutions. → Isotonic solution.

3. When an animal cell is places in this solution, it will burst (get layer)  → Hypotonic solution.

4. When an animal cell is placed in this solution, it will shrivel or shrink (get smaller) → Hypertonic solution.

5. This is a solution with more solute than the cell. Hypertonic solution.

Explanation:

The cells in the body are in a balance of substances —concentration of solutes— between their cytoplasm and the extracellular space. This balance is dynamic in living beings, due to the constant exchange of ions and substances between the intracellular and extracellular space.  For this reason, the extracellular medium is isotonic with the cytoplasm.

A cell can lose or gain water depending on the amount of solutes that a medium has in which it is found, with respect to the cytoplasm. This difference in solutes concentrations produces an osmotic gradient that drags water from the least concentrated solution to the most concentrated, through the process of osmosis, which seeks to achieve an equilibrium of concentrations.

In practice, the concentrations of intracellular and extracellular solutes depend not only on the osmotic gradient, but also on the concentration gradient of substances.

i'm sorry, but can you list the answers? i cannot with something i don't know the answers to
