Suppose a human blood cell containing a 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution (i.e., distilled water). Would the blood cell get bigger or smaller? Why? In your explanation, you must tell me which area has the hypotonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), which area has the hypertonic solution (inside the blood cell or outside the blood cell), and which direction the water would be moving (into the cell or out of the cell)

The solution is hypotonic (lower concentration), and the inside of the cell is hypertonic (higher concentration). Water always moves in the direction of the higher concentration. Therefore, it would move inside the cell, and this will cause the cell to swell (get bigger), and eventually burst.

It is to be noted that the process by which water moves from a low concentrated solute to a high concentrated solute is called osmosis.

If a human blood cell containing 0.9 percent solute concentration were put into a container of 0 percent solute solution, the blood cell would definitely become bigger with time.

The blood cell would become bigger because water will enter into the cell from the surrounding solution (the solution in the container) by osmosis.

In this case, the solution in the container contains a lesser amount of solute when compared to the solute concentration in the cell. thus, the solution in the container is said to be hypotonic while the solution in the cell is said to be hypertonic. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration as cells place in them.

Water will always move from a hypotonic to hypertonic solution as far as osmosis is concerned. Therefore, the direction of movement of water in this case would be from the container into the cell.
