Isotonic is when the cell is the same concentration as the surrounding solution.

Hypotonic is when the cell is more concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves in.

Hypertonic is when the cell is less concentrated than the surrounding solution and water moves out.

If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?

What are the types of solution outside the cell?

The two main types of solutions outside the cell are hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. These solutions can affect the cell's size and function.


What concentration are most intravenous solutions- are they hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic?

Most intravenous solutions are isotonic, meaning they have a similar concentration of solutes as human blood and cells. This helps prevent complications such as cell shrinkage or swelling when the solution enters the bloodstream.


What is the relationship of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell in a isotonic hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?

In an isotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell and leading to cell shrinkage. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to enter the cell and potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting.

Why give an isotonic solution?

When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.

Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?

Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.

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.


What are the differences between isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions in terms of their effects on cells?

Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, causing no net movement of water. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes, causing water to leave the cell and shrink. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes, causing water to enter the cell and swell.


What's the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions"?

Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move into the cell. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
