It's a solution that has a lower concentration of salts than your body. If you were to drink it, you would loose salts and/or gain water.

What is a sentence for hypotonic?
Hypotonic means having reduced pressure or tone. That solution is hypotonic compared to this one.
What is the term used to describe a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution?
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.
Does hypotonic solution cause osmosis?
yes
Solution that causes no change in the intracellular volume?
hypotonic
Does isotonic solution cause osmosis?
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
Is a 2 percent salt solution hypertonic or hypotonic to a 4 percent salt solution?
hypotonic
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.
A solution that contains a lower concentration of salt than living red blood cells would be?
It's a hypotonic solution. ex; blood, tears.
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 salt hypotonic?
Yes salt is hypotonic.
Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
Does Water always moves from a hypertonic solution into a hypotonic one?
Water always follows the salt.
What are some examples for hypotonic solution and its components?
Hypotonic actually stems from the early British invention of Tonic Water. Hypo, meaning "low," describes a Tonic Water that would have been stored on the bottom shelf. These were typically known to be of a lesser quality than the top shelf tonics, or "hyper" tonics. Therefore, hypotonic simply describes a lower quality solution, versus hypertonic, which describes a higher quality solution.
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
Effect of hypotonic?
A hypotonic solution (meaning the salt concentration is lower outside the cell than it is on the inside) will effectively burst your cells due to the water rushing in to diffuse in the salt in your cells.
When a cell undergos lysis what is the name of the solution?
hypotonic, =contains less salt(natrium)than the cell,
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
