What is a solution that contains relatively little dissolved solute?
Hypotonic solution.The root "hypo" means "less", so since the solution has less solutes it takes the name hypotonic.
What is hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution is a type of solution of higher concentration in relation to the solution with which it is been compared
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution is a solution with a lower salt concentration than in normal cells of the body and the blood.
Is 2 percent NaCl hypotonic or hypertonoic?
This is a hypertonic solution.
What is 0.45 percent naCl used for?
This is a hypotonic solution used for the hydration of the organism and to improve the sodium.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
it is hypotonicQuoting from someone else's reply to this question What_is_an_example_of_a_hypotonic_solution,"0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic".Doesn't this mean that 10% is hypertonic?
Is 45 NaCl hypotonic?
Because the normal saline solution is 0,9 %.
Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
Is D5 0.3 naCl a hypotonic solution?
That depends entirely on what is in this solution. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a semi-permeable membrane. Relative to a plant cell or e.g. a red blood cell the named solution of 0.3x10-5M NaCl is hypotonic, but compared to sea water it is hyper. A hypotonic solution contains a lesser concentration of impermeable solutes than the the inside cell. When a cell's cytoplasm is bathed in a hypotonic solution the water will be drawn out of the solution and into the cell by osmosis. If water molecules continue to diffuse into the cell, it will cause the cell to swell, up to the point that lysis (rupture) may occur.
Does celery stay fresher in hypotonic water or hypertonic water?
Distilled water is hypotonic, which makes the celery fresher. NaCl solution is hypertonic to the celery cells making them limp.
What is a solution that contains relatively little dissolved solute?
Hypotonic solution.The root "hypo" means "less", so since the solution has less solutes it takes the name hypotonic.
Is 10 percent NaCl isotonic hypertonic or hypotpnic to red blood cells?
A hypotonic solution will be anything with less than 0.9% salt.
Is 10 percent glucose solution hypertonic?
No. Everything below 0.9% of NaCl is hypotonic and every solution with concentration over 0.9% is hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution (to blood) is the one that has 0.9% of NaCl, or some other concentration of another compound.
Is 10 percent NaCl hypertonic or hypotonic to red blood cells?
It is hypotonic.
What is hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution is a type of solution of higher concentration in relation to the solution with which it is been compared
