Drugs are most often absorbed in the gastrointestinal system through a process called passive diffusion. Passive diffusion works because particles in a solution tend to even out. A high concentration of particulate seeps into low areas of concentration until a balance is achieved.

Why would a solution be called isotonic?

A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.


When a solution has the same concentration of water molecules and solutes as a red blood cell it is considered an solution?

It is called an isotonic solution. If the salt concentration is higher, it is called hypertonic and if lower it is called hypotonic.
