You made observations on how water moved in response to a solute (salt) in onion cells. Based on these observations, predict what you think would happen when a human cell is placed in each of the following conditions: 1. Submerged in distilled water (hypotonic to the cell) 2. Submerged in salt solution (hypertonic to the cell) 3. Submerged in a solution that is isotonic to the cell (water and salts are equal) 1) Submerged in distilled water (hypotonic to the cell), the human cell will increase in size because water will diffuse in it. 2) Submerged in salt solution (hypertonic to the cell), the human cell will 3) Submerged in a solution that is isotonic to the cell (water and salts are equal), the human cell will
