No, Hypotonic Solutions do
Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute and solvent which means that the solution is 50% solute and 50% solvent. Solutions which have more or less solute are called hypotonic and hypertonic.
0.9% sodium chloride is isotonic, thus 0.45 and 0.225 % sodium chloride solutions are hypotonic. osmolarity of 0.9% is 308 mOsm/L and 0.45 is 154 and 0.225 is 77 mOsm/L and body fluids have an osmolarity 250-300 mOsm/L.
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.

Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
hypertonic:has a relatively more solute. Isotonic - even distribution of solute. Hypotonic - has a relatively less solute.
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
isotonic, things remain the same
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
