Is 0.3 NaCl an isotonic solution?

A solution is only isotonic compared to another solution. The statement that .9 NaCl is isotonic is incomplete. You are referring to the fact that it is isotonic with blood serum. This means they have the same osmotic pressure as each other which controls how they pass through the semi permeable membrane of blood vessels. .9 NaCl is isotonic with blood serum and that means that it will diffuse out of the blood vessel after IV injection in a similar fashion to the components of the blood serum itself. .9Nacl contains about 154 mOsm/L of Na and 154 mOsm/L of Cl giving the solution an osmolarity of 308 mOsm/L. The osmolarity of blood is about 300-310 mOsm/L so the two are very close and that's why .9NaCl is considered isotonic for IV solution.

How do osmosis and dialysis releate to diffusion?

Osmosis is the the diffusion of water or any soluble liquid across a semipermeable membrane such as the outer membrane of a cell. When water moves out of the cell faster then the intake of water, the cell will shrink. This is a hypertonic solution. When the intake is greater than the output, the cell will grow. This is a hypotonic solution. When a balance is achieved, water moving equally in and out of the cell, an isotonic solution is created. Dialysis is when the kidney allows only certain things to DIFFUSE through it. For example, a biology class put an egg in a vinegar solution. This causes the egg to grow because the vinegar was at a higher concentration then the inside of the egg and biology states that it will flow from a high concentration to low concentration. When that same egg is placed in water, the vinegar flows out of the egg because the water was a lower solution of vinegar than the egg. So all of this comes down to the fact that in both osmosis and dialysis, something is being diffused through the cell's semipermeable membrane. If you need a clearer explanation, ask you school's biology teacher(s).

Is sprite is solution?

I believe that Sprite is actually a hypotonic solution. At first, I believed that it was hypertonic until I conducted an experiment in my Biology class in which grapes were exposed to Sprite and White Grape Juice. The grapes in the White Grape Juice showed to be somewhat isotonic and each grape in Sprite had a visible increase in mass. This was weighed with the same scale and materials were the same. I did three trials and all trials displayed a hypotonic result from Sprite, thus my hypothesis which was that the grapes in Sprite would shrivel up and decrease in mass because Sprite is a hypertonic solution, was not supported by my data. Although the trials were few in number, the end result for each one appeared the same. Therefore, I can conclude that Sprite is in fact a hypotonic solution instead of a hypertonic solution as I had first thought.

There was no solution, which is why Rome did in fact fall.

Why you study evolution?

I study evolution because it is the concept that underlies all of biology. Biology would still be natural history without the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection is the overarching theory that underpins all of biology while explaining much about the fact of evolution. " Nothing in biology makes sense, except in the light of evolution. " Dobzansky.


Why biology is said to be queen of all sciences?

Biology deals with all the living beings and their interaction with the environment. In fact, the term biology is derived from the word 'bios' which means life. Hence, biology is regarded as the science of life.
