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.
Isotonic solution has the same concentration of solutes as the cells, leading to no net movement of water. Hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the cells, causing water to move into the cells and potentially leading to cell lysis. Hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the cells, causing water to move out of the cells and potentially leading to cell shrinkage.
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.

A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
What are the types of solution outside the cell?
The two main types of solutions outside the cell are hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. These solutions can affect the cell's size and function.
What concentration are most intravenous solutions- are they hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic?
Most intravenous solutions are isotonic, meaning they have a similar concentration of solutes as human blood and cells. This helps prevent complications such as cell shrinkage or swelling when the solution enters the bloodstream.
What is the relationship of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell in a isotonic hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?
In an isotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell and leading to cell shrinkage. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to enter the cell and potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting.
Di fferent types of solution?
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
hypotonic
Why give an isotonic solution?
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?
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.
Is mizone a isotonic hypotonic or a hypertoni?
hypertonic
What are 5 types of solutions?
There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
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.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What term would be applied to each of the blood cells?
I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
What are Three types of osmosis?
Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
