A hypotonic solution has less than normal tension: hypo = less, and tonic = tonicity, the concentration of solute.
Examples of hypotonic solutions:
(1) Sports drinks that contain salts / electrolytes
(2) physiologically:
a. 0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic
b. dextrose 2.5% in water
c. dextrose 2% in water

What solution causes osmosis?
Hypotonic Solution causes osmosis.
When a solution is hypertonic?
Let us put hypotonic into the mix. Hyper is more, hypo is less so that puts -tonic right in the middle, as a reference point. That reference point is also called equilibrium. When a solution contains more solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypertonic, and when a solution has dissolved in it less than the amount of solute that it would normally contain at equilibrium it is hypotonic.
What is the solution that contains more water than what is located in the cells?
A hypertonic Solution. a solution that has a greater concentration of water than the cell content is hypotonic, meaning there is less concentration of water inside the cell, which results in an increase or an expansion of the cell.
An example of a solution that has 1 solvent and 2 solutes?
give an example of a solution that has 1 solvent and 2 solutes.
What is a hypotonic drink?
When referring to hypo, hyper, or isotonic solutions remember it is a comparison of one environment to another. A hypotonic solution is one that contains a low level of solute compared to the solvent. Water, via osmosis travels from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration to achieve equilibrium. Plain water is hypotonic. The effect will differ depending upon a plant or animal cell. Hypotonic solutions usually push water into the cell. This is great for plant cells (thick cellulose membrane), but destructive for animal cells due to the thin cell wall.
What is hypotonic and its example?
Hypotonic refers to a solution with a lower solute concentration compared to another solution. An example of a hypotonic solution is freshwater compared to saltwater.
What is the example of a hypotonic solution?
Distilled water.
Is the solution hypotonic in or out of the cell?
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
Is the solution in the experiment hypotonic or hypertonic?
The solution in the experiment is hypotonic.
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
Hypotonic solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Do wet raisins show endosmosis?
It is an example of hypotonic solution and the raisins will swell up.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What is hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
hypotonic
