In an experiment, students place identical red blood cells in three solutions: Solution A (same solute concentration as cell cytoplasm), Solution B (higher solute concentration outside), and Solution C (lower solute concentration outside). After 30 minutes under a microscope, cells in Solution A remain normal in size, cells in Solution B shrink and shrivel (crenation), and cells in Solution C swell and burst (hemolysis). Which prediction correctly applies water movement and effects on cells to classify each of the solutions?
