∙ 11y agoHypotonic hydration, also known as water intoxication, occurs when there is an imbalance of water and electrolytes in the body, leading to an excessive intake of water relative to electrolyte intake. This can dilute the electrolyte concentration in the bloodstream to dangerous levels and cause cells to swell. Symptoms can range from mild confusion and nausea to seizures and coma.
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.
Cells placed in a hypotonic solution may swell as water moves into the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes inside the cell relative to the outside environment.
Hydration of concrete is a chemical reaction that occurs between cement and water, resulting in the formation of bonds between cement particles and aggregates. This process is essential for the concrete to harden and develop its strength and durability over time. Proper hydration is crucial for achieving desired concrete properties and ensuring long-term performance.
"Physical substance" is typically the term used to refer to matter, which is anything that has mass and occupies space.
Yes, a hypotonic solution can cause osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside. This creates a concentration gradient that causes water to move into the cell through osmosis, potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting.
This is a hypotonic solution used for the hydration of the organism and to improve the sodium.
The body fluids shift out of the blood vessels and into the interstitial space. These fluids are used for re-hydration.
Hypotonic sports drinks: Examples - Water, Slazenger S1 - Hypotonic drinks are best used for rapid hydration. Most are lacking in electrolytes, and are therefore not optimum for exclusive use during long bouts of exercise (greater than 30 minutes).
Loss\removal of hydration\water.
The scientific term for the appearance of elodea cells when placed in a hypotonic solution is turgid. This occurs when water moves into the cell causing it to swell and become firm.
to what does the term coed refer
Lower concentration of solute is known as the hypotonic solution. The solution with a higher concentration of solute is the hypertonic solution. One with equal solute in solution and whatever its being compared with is known as the isotonic solution.
It is when someone uses water to give them a orgasm. (sexual term)
osmosis, is the term that can be used for this scientific term
Yes salt is hypotonic.
The term you're looking for is hypotonic, which basically refers to having reduced pressure or tone. In Biology, hypotonic refers to having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.
