In a science fair project, bean plants watered with heavily salted water wilt. From this we can deduce that the salty water is:
a. hypotonic to the bean cells.
b. isotonic to the bean cells.
c. hypertonic to the bean cells.
d. both hypotonic and hypertonic to the bean cells.
e. None of the above; we do not have enough information to deduce tonicity.
