Celery stalks that are immersed in fresh water for several hours become stiff and hard. Similar stalks left in a salt solution become limp and soft. From this we can deduce that the cells of the celery stalks are
A) isotonic with fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution.
B) hypotonic to fresh water but hypertonic to the salt solution.
C) hypotonic to both fresh water and the salt solution
D)
hypertonic to both fresh water and the salt solution.
E)
hypertonic to fresh water but hypotonic to the salt solution.
Answer E

A) flaccid
B) isotonic
C) hypertonic
D)
hypotonic

Answer B
patient has had a serious accident and lost a lot of blood. In an attempt to replenish body fluids, distilled water, equal to the volume of blood lost, is transferred directly into one of his veins. What will be the most probable result of this transfusion?
A) The patient's red blood cells will shrivel up because the blood
fluid is hypertonic compared to the cells.
B) The patient's red
blood cells will shrivel up because the blood fluid is hypotonic
compared to the cells.
C) It will have no unfavorable effect as
long as the water is free of viruses and bacteria.
D) The
patient's red blood cells will swell because the blood fluid is
hypotonic compared to the cells.
E) The patient's red blood
cells will burst because the blood fluid is hypertonic compared to the cells.
Answer D
