Normal saline solution (0.9% NaCl) is considered isotonic with blood (although it actually has a slightly higher degree of osmolality). Ringers lactate is also considered isotonic.


5% Dextrose solution is also considered hypotonic compared with blood, because although it is isotonic while infusing, the dextrose is metabolized and free water is left, which is hypotonic.

What is a solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell resulting in the cell retaining its normal shape because there is no net movement of water?

Isotonic solution.Common table salt when added to water is an example of a solute. For example, salt crystals (the solute) are the part of salt water (a solution) which has changed its state when added to water (the solvent).


A solution that has an equal amount of particles?

A solution that has an equal amount of particles is called an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cells, leading to no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This allows cells to maintain their shape and size.


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.


What type of solution doesnt change the shape of a cell?

Isotonic does not change the shape of a cell membrane


An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a?

An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a solution with the same osmotic pressure as the inside of the cells. This allows the cells to maintain their normal shape and size without losing or gaining water. Common examples of isotonic solutions include saline solutions and Ringer's lactate.

Is Vinegar an Isotonic solution?

No, vinegar is not an isotonic solution. Vinegar is an acetic acid solution, which means it has a different osmotic pressure compared to isotonic solutions.


Is it true that a object will swel l in isotonic 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

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.


What does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?

The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.


What are Examples of isotonic fluid?

Normal saline is an example of an isotonic fluid. It contains 0.9% salt in water.An isotonic solution is a solution that contains the same concentration of solutes (dissolved particles) as blood. Isotonic saline is an example. Isotonic saline is a solution with the same concentration of salts as human blood.
