Which term refers to a solution with more of the same kind of molecules outside the cell than inside the cell? hypertonic
hypotonic
equitonic
isotonic

hypertonic

Explanation:

Tonicity, which refers to the ability of a solution to exert an osmotic pressure upon a membrane can be of three types namely: Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic. Tonicity determines the direction of osmotic flow of solutions.

HYPERTONIC solution is that which has a higher concentration of solute outside the cell than inside of the cell. In this question, it is described as a case where the extracellular solution contains more solute molecules than the intracellular solution.

An hypotonic solution contains less concentration of solutes than its environment while a solution is said to be isotonic if it contains equal concentration of solutes.
