### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Solution Types**: - Solutions can be categorized into three types: hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic. - **Hypotonic Solution**: This is a dilute solution with a lower concentration of solute compared to the inside of the cell. It has more water relative to solute. - **Hypertonic Solution**: This is a concentrated solution with a higher concentration of solute compared to the inside of the cell. It has less water relative to solute. - **Isotonic Solution**: This solution has the same concentration of solute as the inside of the cell, resulting in no net movement of water. ...
