ReneWater is not isotonic. It can be hypotonic or hypertonic depending to the solution in which it is placed in. In other words, isotonic means that the concentration of the solutions are equal in strenght, this is not possible for water, it can be considered as hypo or hypertonic depending on the solution to which it is compared. Hope that helps ;).

Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
When placed in a hypotonic solution what will happen to the cell?
If cells are placed in a hypotonic solution the cells gain water. The hypotonic solution has lower solute concentration then the cell's cytoplasm so the water will enter via osmosis.
Which type of cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic?
An animal cell may burst if it becomes hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, water flows into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to the pressure created by the influx of water.
Is water an isotonic solution or hypo tonic solution?
Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients. These would be considered impurities to the pure H2O, or solutes dissolved in the water. Because the undistilled water has substances in it that the distilled water does not, it is hyper-(above)-tonic. The deionized water is hypo-(below)-tonic to the dirty water.
