Consider a simple model cell, such as the one in Figure 3.6, that consists of cytoplasm and
a plasma membrane. The cellâs initial volume is 2 nl and contains 0.2 M protein. The cell
is placed in a large volume of 0.05 M CaCl2. Neither Caþþ nor Cl" can cross the plasma
membrane and enter the cell. Is the 0.05 M CaCl2 solution hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic
relative to the osmolarity inside the cell? Describe what happens to the cell as it achieves
equilibrium in this new environment. What will be the final osmolarity of the cell? What will
be its final volume?
