Solutions Matching – Identify the solution type described in the questions or statements below. determine if hypotonic hypertonic or isotonic A cell is bathed in solution X.  The cell quickly shrivels.  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.
