what is an isotonic solution
Isotonic
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
isotonic
isotonic or isoosmotic
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
what is an isotonic solution
Isotonic
isotonic
It depends on the solution.
It is not true that an object will swell in an isotonic solution because there is no different concentration gradient between the object and the isotonic solution
Nothing. There is no difference between concentration's gradient and so no net flow of water from cytosol [liquid part of cytoplasm] to the solution in which cell is immersed occurs.
isotonic solution, equilibrium
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.
Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.
It depends on the solution.
