hypertonic solution is when the cell contains more water inside of it than there is in its environment. Because of the process of osmosis, the water inside the cell will move outside into the environment to make it balanced. This will cause the cell to shrivel up. An example would be a water balloon filled with water. The water inside would leak out if there is a hole in the balloon (cells already have tiny openings so it doesnt need to be ruptured for this to occur) because there is more water inside than there is in its environment. The balloon will eventually leak out all its water and become shriveled.
Hope that helps!

What would happen if you mixed a hypertonic solution and a hypotonic solution?
If place in a hypertonic solution it would swell and/or burst because to much water is getting in the cell from the hypertonic solution ( osmosis ). If placed in a hypotonic solution it will end up shrinking from the water leaving the cell to the hypotonic solution ( again osmosis ). Osmosis is when water moves to a lower pressure of water so if there's more water pressure in the cell it will move out into the less dense solution. :)
Is the cell below in a hypertonic or hypotonic?
Hypotonic means higher amount of h20 and hypertonic means a smaller amount of h20. If the cell was for example in saltwater and it isn't meant to live in salt water, the inside of the cell would be hypotonic and outside would be hypertonic
When the vinegar absorbed into the egg and caused it to expand This was an example of?
osmosis, where the vinegar solution moved from an area of higher concentration (outside the egg) to an area of lower concentration (inside the egg). This caused the egg to absorb the vinegar and swell, demonstrating the process of osmosis.
Is lactated ringers hypotonic or hypetonic?
Neither! Ringer's solution is specifically formulated to be isotonic with the body fluids of a particular taxa (ie. mammals, reptiles, teleost fishes, etc.). For example, a mammalian Ringer's solution (useful on everything from lab mouse tissues to human blood samples) is isotonic at an osmolarity of about 0.3 OsM.
Does water go from hyper tonic to hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
An example of hypertonic?
corn syrup ------ Dextrose solution in water , 10 % concentration
What is an example of hypertonic food?
A hypertonic solution means a solution having more solute and less water than another solution. Examples are: corn syrup and saline and glucose solutions.
What is an example of a hypertonic IV solution?
One example of a hypertonic IV solution is 3% saline, which has a higher concentration of salt than the human body. This solution is used to draw fluid out of the body's cells and into the bloodstream to treat conditions like hyponatremia or cerebral edema.
What hypertonic means to illustrate equilibrium?
Hypertonic is when you have a high concentration of solute relative to the solvent. For example, salt water is a hypertonic solution with vast amounts of sodium, chlorine, potassium, and iodine dissolved in water.
Use hypertonic in a science sentence?
To be hypertonic means to be extremely tense. An example sentence would be: His calf muscle was hypertonic after the marathon.
What is a example sentence for hypertonic solution?
When the concentration of solutes is more, it becomes a hyper-tonic solution. Salt can act like a solute in this case.
How is hypotonic and hypertonic differ?
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
What is a correct example of tonicity?
A correct example of tonicity is a red blood cell in a hypertonic solution, where the solution has a higher solute concentration than inside the cell causing it to shrink and undergo crenation.
What is the role of hypertonic solution?
Mostly to reduce swelling. For example, a sore throat. Sore throats can be cured with the constant rinsing of salt water.
What terms describes a solution with a higher concentration of dissolved substances relative to another solution?
You are probably looking for "dilute" but that is wrong, dilute is relative. A dilute solution of table salt (sodium chloride) can be a very different concentration to a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
What is an example of Crenation?
An example of crenation is when red blood cells lose water and shrink in a hypertonic solution, such as saltwater. This causes the cells to have a scalloped appearance due to the contraction of the cell membrane.
What are example hypertonic?
3% saline
