[IB Biology at GHS: Review of Cells]

19. A slug is placed into water that is 3% solute. Is the water around the slug hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic in relation to the cells of the slug?

A) Hypotonic

B) Hypertonic

C) Isotonic (Hint: 3% solute = 97% water (100% - 3% = 97%) so the amount of water inside and outside the slug is the same!)
