∙ 14y agoWater is not isotonic. It can be hypotonic or hypertonic depending to the solution in which it is placed in. In other words, isotonic means that the concentration of the solutions are equal in strenght, this is not possible for water, it can be considered as hypo or hypertonic depending on the solution to which it is compared. Hope that helps ;).

Why does the filtrate become hypotonic?
It becomes hypotonic due to loss of water from it.
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Into. Either hypotonic or hypertonic both tend to optimal tonicity. Hypotonic vesicles will welcome water while hypertonic vesicles will shed water.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is hypotonic urine?
Hypotonic urine is when the water outside the cells are trying to get inside the cells in the blastoids of the indicrine system
Is water an isotonic solution or hypo tonic solution?
Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients. These would be considered impurities to the pure H2O, or solutes dissolved in the water. Because the undistilled water has substances in it that the distilled water does not, it is hyper-(above)-tonic. The deionized water is hypo-(below)-tonic to the dirty water.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?

A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
Why does the filtrate become hypotonic?

Is pond water isotonic to a fresh water cell?
Elodea lives in pond water, which is a hypotonicenvironment - hypotonic has less dissolved solutes than the elodea cells.yes the answer would be hypotonic.
Does Water move into or out of a membrane bound hypotonic vesicle?
Into. Either hypotonic or hypertonic both tend to optimal tonicity. Hypotonic vesicles will welcome water while hypertonic vesicles will shed water.
Water enters a cell when the solution surrounding the cell is?
Hypotonic- i think. Hypertonic is when it shrinks and Lyses is when the cell burts from swelling too much. We did it with blood cells in my Anatomy and Physiology class.
What cell is full of water?

A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in?
When it is in a hypotonic solution such as distilled water.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is the example of a hypotonic solution?
Distilled water.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
