The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "The external solution having more concentration than the cell sap is called," we need to analyze the options provided: 1. **Understanding the Terms**: - **Hypotonic Solution**: A solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. In this case, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. - **Isotonic Solution**: A solution that has the same concentration of solutes as the inside of the cell. Here, water moves in and out at equal rates, maintaining cell size. - **Hypertonic Solution**: A solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell. Water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage. 2. **Analyzing the Question**: - The question specifies that the external solution has a higher concentration than the cell sap. This means that the concentration of solutes outside the cell is greater than that inside the cell. 3. **Identifying the Correct Option**: - Since the external solution has a higher concentration of solutes, it fits the definition of a **Hypertonic Solution**. 4. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is **Hypertonic Solution**. ### Final Answer: The external solution having more concentration than the cell sap is called a **Hypertonic Solution**. ---
