A 10% glucose solution is placed in the thistle tube. The thistle tube is placed in a beaker that contains a 5% glucose solution. The solution in the thistle tube is _____ to the solution in the beaker.

Respuesta :

Answer: Hypertonic

Explanation:

The hypertonic solution states that the solution is having more number of solutes in the thistle tube as compared to the beaker.

The movement of the solute particles along the concentration gradient from the higher concentration to the lower concentration.

The movement of the solutes from a region of higher to a region of lower concentration is known as diffusion.

Hence, the thistle tube is hypertonic to the beaker solution.
