Isotonic is when the cell is the same concentration as the surrounding solution.
Hypotonic is when the cell is more concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves in.
Hypertonic is when the cell is less concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves out.
Hypotonic solutions are more dilute, hypertonic solutions have more solute, i.e. are more concentrated.
If the medium surrounding a cell has a higher water concentration than the cell, meaning that outside solution is very dilute, the cell will gain water by osmosis. Such a solution is known as a hypotonic solution.Water molecules are free to pass across the cell membrane in both directions, but more water will come into the cell than will leave.The result is that water enters the cell.The cell is likely to swell up.
If the medium has a lower concentration of water than the cell, meaning that it is very concentrated solution, the cell will lose water by osmosis. Such a solution is known as a hypertonic solution. Again,water crosses the cell membrane in both directions,but this time more water leaves the cell than enters it. Therefore, the cell will shrink.
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution.
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution.
(hyper) means abow, (hypo) means below.....
my daddy told me not to talk to starngers
isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions are all composed of dissolved materials,and a cell can be placed in these solutions resulting in osmosis of some form.
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
hypertonic hypertonic
hypertonic:has a relatively more solute. Isotonic - even distribution of solute. Hypotonic - has a relatively less solute.
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic...
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic
isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions are all composed of dissolved materials,and a cell can be placed in these solutions resulting in osmosis of some form.
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
hypotonic
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.
hypertonic
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute and solvent which means that the solution is 50% solute and 50% solvent. Solutions which have more or less solute are called hypotonic and hypertonic.
