Is seawater hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic to drinking water?
Seawater contains salts as well as other minerals in its suspension, therefore it is hypertonic to drinking water.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
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.
Is 10 percent glucose solution hypertonic?
No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.
What is the Solute of intravenous fluid?
the solutions used in iv are the hypotonic , hypertonic, isotonic solutions .. :)
Which has more salt in it a hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
Yes, for us. Most vertebral life has been set at .9 percent for about 250 million years, and sea water is about 3 percent. But there are many life forms that are isotonic with sea water (the invertebrates of the oceans).
Is soda hypertonic?
Soda is hypertonic, but it all depends what you are comparing it to. As long as the other solution you are using in the semi-permiable membrane has a lower number of solute particles than soda it is still Hypertonic.
What is the difference between isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solution?
The words isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic refer to the relationship between two solutions. - When two solutions are isotonic to one another, the two solutions have the same amount of solute as each other. - When a solution is hypertonic in reference to another solution, that solution has more solute than the other. - When a solution is hypotonic in reference to another solution, that solution has less solute than the other. - Thus, on a scale of INCREASING solutes, you could align three solutions like this: hypotonic --> isotonic --> hypertonic. Secondly, since substances move from a region of high concentration (more solute) to low concentration (less solute), remember that solutes will always move from a hypertonic solution to a hypotonic solution OR solvents will always move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution. A good way to remember this is to know that "hyper" means above (more than) and hypo means "below" (less than), e.g. in HYPERactive = being really energetic or more energetic than normal vs. HYPOthermia = being very cold or below the normal temperature. A way to figure out whether a solution is isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic in respect to another solution is to figure out the solutions tonacities. Tonacity is the measure of solute in a solution. Therefore, something hypertonic has more tonacity or more solute than another solution. Some people learn the term "solute potential," which has a similar concept to tonacity. Examples: A 0.4 mol glucose solution is isotonic to a 0.4 mol glucose solution. A 0.4 mol glucose solution is hypertonic to a 0.2 mol glucose solution. A 0.2 mol glucose solution is hypotonic to a 0.4 mol glucose solution.
What is the biology term of isotonic?
If you're asking about what the term isotonic means...there are three basic types of solutions- Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Isotonic Hypertonic Solutions are solutions that contain more solute than the other solution in question. Hypotonic solutions are less concentrated with solute than the other solution (When i refer to the "other solution" usually when you talk about isotonic solutions etc, you are talking about it in reference to another solution) Isotonic solutions are solutions that contain an EQUAL amount of solute with the other solution and the solute diffuses equally from one solution to the other... SOrry if anything is innaccurate, but a proper definition (other than mine) shouldn't be hard to get once you understand this...
Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used initially to isolate the chloroplasts?
isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause. buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.
How does ten percent salt water effect a cell containing ninety seven percent water?
Anytime there is a semipermeable membrane and water with dissolved ions on both sides of the membrane you have a situation where osmosis can occur. If the solutions on each side of the membrane are equal in concentration it is said they are "isotonic" and no net movement of water will occur. If the two solutions are not equal in concentration, then one is hypertonic (more dissolved solutes) and the other is hypotonic (fewer dissolved solutes). In the case of the 10% salt solution, that is hypertonic relative to the cell. Water will move towards the hypertonic side, so water will move out of the cell and into the salt water--in other words, the cell will shrivel up (and possibly die). If instead you put the cell in distilled water, then water would rush into the cell (since it is hypertonic relative to distilled water). In that case the cell would swell up and burst. Isotonic saline solution is 0.85% or 0.9%--not quite 1% salt. They give isotonic saline intravenously when a person is dehydrated. Hope that helps. ~Kevin
What is isotonic in chemistery?
An isotonic cellular environment occurs when an equal solute concentration exists inside and outside the cell. Molecules flow in and out at an equal rate by osmosis, causing the cell size to stay the same. It will not lose or gain any solutes.An isotonic solution has an equal amount of dissolved solute in it compared to the things around it. Typically in humans and most other mammals, the isotonic solution is 0.9 weight percent (0.009 g/ml) salt in aqueous solution, this is also know as saline, which is generally administered via an intra-venous drip. Is is a medium between hypotonic and hypertonic solutions.
