Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?
hyper
What is hyper tonic and what is hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
What is hypertonic fluid overload?
Hypertonic fluid overload is a medical condition in which there is too much fluid in a person's blood. This is caused by an increase of sodium content.
Should hypotonic or hypertonic solution be given for hypervolemia?
A hypertonic solution would be given when a patient is deficient in electrolytes or salts and needs to have them replenished.
Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
When something is hypotonic does it move fast?
Hypo and hypertonic have nothing to do with moving fast. They have to do with concentrations of solutes in solvents. The movement is probably molecules and that depends on temperature.
If a cell has fluid flowing out of it then in what kind of solution is this cell immersed?
hypertonic
Why would someone need a hypertonic?
A hypertonic is needed when a patient is experiencing brain swelling. This in turn increases the intravascular osmolality and pulls fluid out of the tissues.
Why does vinegar cause a hard-boiled egg to expand?
Diffusion between hypo/hypertonic substances across a semipermeable membrane. AKA: The water from the vinegar fills the egg
