Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
Explain the behavior of water molecules in the isotonic solution?
Water molecules of an isotonic solution would not pass through the membrane, b/c isotonic implies that the solutions' molarity is equal. so water or other molecules do not need to pass through the membrane.
What is it called when water comes in or out of a cell?
Equilibrium
What is the behavior of cells in isotonic solution?
An isotonic solution is one in which the ionic environment is similar to that of the cytoplasm. Hence, when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net diffusion of water into or out of the cell. The cell remains intact.
What occurs in an isotonic solution?
Its a normal cell that don't require adding water or losing water
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be?
A water solution that has the same salt concentration as the cells is said to be is isotonic.
What is a solution with the same concentration of water and solutes as inside a cell resulting in the cell retaining its normal shape because there is no net movement of water?
Isotonic solution.Common table salt when added to water is an example of a solute. For example, salt crystals (the solute) are the part of salt water (a solution) which has changed its state when added to water (the solvent).
Is water isotonic to salt water?
yes it is with out isontonic the water would become solid and making it no longer water, so with out isotonic water wouldnt be water
How does the cell transport water?
It uses osmosis (diffusion for water) so the water just travels naturally. If you want more information, use these terms in Google, hypertonic, isotonic, hypotonic, diffusion, osmosis
What is the Significance of the Isotonic point?
The isotonic point is the point at which there is an equal amount of solute in comparison to water.
Are vacuoles in distilled water elodea leaf cells hypotonic isotonic?
isotonic, things remain the same
What is in an isotonic glucose solution?
Isotonic solution is very close to sea water in composition and also concentration. Glucose isotonic solution is an electrolyte solution used for re-hydration. It contains salt, water and glucose.
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
Explain the behavior of water molecules in the isotonic solution?
Water molecules of an isotonic solution would not pass through the membrane, b/c isotonic implies that the solutions' molarity is equal. so water or other molecules do not need to pass through the membrane.
A cell that has neither a net gain nor a net lose of water when it is immersed in a solution is?
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
What is it called when water comes in or out of a cell?
Equilibrium
What type of solution causes water to enter and exit at the same rate?
An isotonic one. (having the exact same water potential as the adjacent medium) (isotonic solution)
