Tonicity Practice Problems Worksheet

This document contains a worksheet with practice problems about tonicity and cell transport. The worksheet has blanks to fill in regarding the relative concentration of water inside and outside cells, the direction of water movement, what will happen to cells, and identifying solutions as hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic. It also includes diagrams of experimental set ups like u-tubes to analyze. The goal is for students to practice analyzing tonicity scenarios and predicting their outcomes.

moved.

11. For each beaker below:


- Identify the concentration of water and solute BOTH inside and outside of the cell
- Draw arrows to represent which way the water is going to move
- Identify the type of solution BOTH on the inside and outside of the cell
12. Below is a picture of a plant cell.
- Draw arrows to represent which way the water is moving.
- Identify the pictures as turgid, flaccid, and normal.
- Identify the type of solution each plant cell was placed in.
