Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?
This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.
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
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
If solution A has more solute and less water than solution B then solution A is what to solution B?
Solution A is highly concentrated than solution B.
What is isotonic hypertonic hypotonic?
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 .
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotpnic to red blood cells?
A hypotonic solution will be anything with less than 0.9% salt.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
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?

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.
Is D5 water a hypertonic solution?
D5W is hypertonic to solutions containing less than 5% dextrose.
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 the solution that contains more water than what is located in the cells?
A hypertonic Solution. a solution that has a greater concentration of water than the cell content is hypotonic, meaning there is less concentration of water inside the cell, which results in an increase or an expansion of the cell.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
Hypertonic SOlution and Hypotonic Solution?
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.
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 are the definitions for Hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?
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.
If solution A has more solute and less water than solution B then solution A is what to solution B?
Solution A is highly concentrated than solution B.
