Most are. A notable exception is urine. The kidneys are able to concentrate the salts and nitrogenous wastes in the urine so as to conserve water. A dehydrated person will produce very concentrated, hypertonic urine.

Why do cells in large organisms not tend to be in danger of bursting?

Is d5w isotonic when mixed with 0.9 percent NaCl?
D5w and 0.9 ns are both isotonic solutions (osmolarity is similar to body fluids). When combined however, the solution becomes hypertonic (osmolarity is greater than body fluids). When administered iv, d5w .9 ns pulls fluid from cells and interstitial space into blood vessels.
Why should the cells in the body be in isotonic condition at all times?
If the cells are not isotonic, they are not in equilibrium. If the cell was in a hypertonic environment, the cell would become lysed and burst. If the cell was in a hypotonic environment, the cell would be deprived of fluids and shrivel. EX: when we take baths, our cells in our fingers absorb water and get pruny. when our cells are depleted or are starting to shrivel, we crave water to replenish them.
