Isotonic solution: A solution that has the same solute concentration as the cells and blood. Isotonic solutions are commonly used as intravenously infused fluids in hospitalized patients.
when a cell is in a isotonic environment , it means the the amount (concentration) of the solutes in the solution and the amount (concentrarion) of solutes in the cell itself is Equal.
So both the solution and Cell have EQUAL amount or Equal concentration of SOLUTES (like salt, sugar, Na+ etc) .
Example
If the cell has 50% salt or any solutes
and you place the cell in a solution that has 50% salt or any solutes
then you can say that the cell is in Isotonic Environment. There will be no change in cell's shape.
But if cell has 30% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 70% salt
then the cell is in Hypertonic solution. Then the water will move out of cell into solution to achieve equilibrium through osmosis. the cell will shrink.
And If the cell has 80% salt and you place the cell in a solution that has 20% salt then the cell is in Hypotonic solution. Then water will move out of solution and come into cell through osmosis to achieve equilbrium and the cell will swell( cell will be come bigger) .
when there is more concentrated external environment or solution than cell concentration it is termed as hypertonic environment

it is an environment where the cell shrinks due to the particles outside the cells that causes water from the cell to rush out and spread it out as evenly as possible.
hypertone is a diesiese created by ducks that travels round rivers and lakes
hypertonic solution
Hypertonic means increased pressure or tone. This solution is hypertonic compared to that one.
yes D5 half NS is hypertonic
use hypertonic solusion for food presentaion
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.

yes
hypertonic solution
hypertonic!
It is hypertonic.
hypertonic
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
hypertonic
Hypertonic means increased pressure or tone. This solution is hypertonic compared to that one.
yes D5 half NS is hypertonic
To be hypertonic means to be extremely tense. An example sentence would be: His calf muscle was hypertonic after the marathon.
