is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?
hypotonic solution
Why does the filtrate become hypotonic?
It becomes hypotonic due to loss of water from it.
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.
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 urine always hyper tonic to the blood plasma?
It depends. If the body is dehydrated, it will produce highly concentrated (hypertonic) urine in order to conserve water from the blood stream. If your blood is hypotonic (contains excess water), then the kidneys will release hypotonic urine, to reduce the amount of water in the blood. Therefore, if you are dehydrated, the urine is considered hypertonic to the blood. If not, the urine is hypotonic to the blood.
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?
hypotonic
Do freshwater fish live in a hypotonic environment?
yes.freshwater has high water potential,making it hypotonic
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
