- Greater concentration of solute outside of cell than inside
- Water potential is higher; osmotic potential is lower
- Net movement of water from the cell to the solution across a semi-permeable membrane
- In excess, causes crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells
- Greater concentration of solute inside cell than outside
- Water potential is low (0 in distilled water); osmotic potential is higher
- Net movement of water into the cell from the solution across a semi-permeable membrane
- A pure water solution (DH2O) can cause lysis (bursting) in animal cells and turgor pressure in plant cells
- Concentration inside cells is equal to that of the solution
- No net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane (although there is osmosis)
- Cell is at equilibrium (what it strives for)
Isotonic- no water movement across the cell membrane since the concentration of ions are farily equal in and out of the cell.
Hypertonic-a condition where cell loose it water content and ultimately plasmolyze due to the higher ionic concentration outside the cell than inside
Hypotonic-reverse of hypertonic, where cell actually swallow may ultimately burst due to the entry of water as the ionic concetration is too low outside the cell than inside

is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
What are three types of solutions at affect cells?
Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and shrink it. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration than the cell, leading water to move into the cell and potentially burst it. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
What are the osmotic situations?
The osmotic situations include hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell, leading to cell swelling. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
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.

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.
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.
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 mizone a isotonic hypotonic or a hypertoni?
hypertonic
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.
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.
