Question 7

Which scenario best describes osmosis in red blood cells placed in a hypotonic solution?

Accepted Answer

Water diffuses into the cell, causing it to burst.

Question 8

Which statement best explains why nonpolar solvents like hexane are used to extract vegetable oil from soybeans?

Accepted Answer

Vegetable oil is nonpolar and dissolves well in nonpolar solvents.
