Explain why it is not enough just to say that a solution is hypertonic?

hypertonic and hypotonic are relative terms. A solution that is hypertonic to tap H2O could be hypotonic to seawater.
In using these terms, you must provide a comparison, as in 'the solution is hypertonic to the cells cytoplasm'.

When a red blood cell is placed in a hypertonic solution is water the only thing diffusing or will the salt diffuse as well in an attempt to achieve equilibrium?
Just the water moves across the cell membrane in a process called osmosis
The movement of the water from an area with lots of water into an area with less water?
Well, the movement of water is called osmosis. movement from high concentration to low concentration is called active transport.
What is called the diffusion of water?
OsmosisOsmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.osmosis
Does water go from hyper tonic to 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.
Which way is water moving when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution?
Water will move into the stronger solution (the one with the higher concentration of solute or solutes). For osmosisto occur, there must be a semi-permeable membrane (also called a selectively permeable or differentially permeable membrane). In all cells the plasma membrane is just such a membrane, and in mature plant cells there is another such membrane, the vacuolar membrane or tonoplast, surrounding the central vacuole.You can think of all solutes as attracting water. In a liquid containing one or more solutes, the total force attracting water is the osmotic pressure. When a semi-permeable membrane separates two solutions of differing osmotic pressures, there will be a net flow of water into the hypertonic (stronger) solution, in other words, the one with the higher osmotic pressure.Osmosis is passive, and involves a net flow because some water molecules move one way across the membrane, some the other.If the fluid surrounding a cell is hypotonic to the cytosol, that is another way of saying that the cytosol is hypertonic to the surrounding fluid. Either way, water will move into the cell.
What solution is hypertonic?
A solution on which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resided on the solutionIn healthcare you will often hear the words iso- and hypertonic solutions. A third option the "hypotonic" solution is also a possbility.As many people will know, the human blood contains both sodium, potassium, chloride salts. In healthcare a solution will be hypertonic when the amount of salts in it exceeds that of human blood. It will be isotonic (iso meaning "same") when the amount of salts are comparable to that of blood. Finally the solution will be considered hypotonic when the amount of salts present in the solution is less than that of blood.Hypertonic: More concentratedIsotonic: Just as concentratedHypotonic: Less as concentrated.
Which term describes a system with no solution?
Just saying "no solution" is good enough
Do you thnk the compromise of 1850 was a good solution explain your answer?
I think the compromise of 1850 was a good solution because slavery is just wrong.
Do hypotonic solutions have high solute and high water compared to another solution?
hypotonic is the world for a lower concentration of solutes. it just depends on what side of the membrane you are referring to. whatever side has more solutes = hyper, whatever side has less = hypo.

Was there is variability between the peak-to-peak interval of the R wave?
You are just having hypertonic contractions.

What happens to carrot cubes when they are left in a salt solution over night?
If a lot of salt has been added (which I assume is the intention of this question), then the carrot cubes will shrink because the solution will be hypertonic to the carrot cubes. However, adding just the right amount of salt or too little salt can result in the carrot cube staying the same or bloating, respectively.

Explain first fit algorithm?
A "first fit" algorithm is any algorithm which doesn't care about how "good" a solution is, it just returns the first one that works.
How do you motivate staff to follow my vision?
Make your vision clear enough to explain your point out and convincing to the staff. It must be sure to listen to the feedback, what is the limit and problem to the vision they see and seek through the solution together with them. May be, there are some point in the vision that need to sort out not just a disobedience or inability to motivate.
