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 does the loss of isotonic solution lead to?
The loss of isotonic solution leads to either swelling or shrinking of cells.
Do cells shrink in isotonic solution?
No, but in salt solution: Yes.
What represents an isotonic solution to human cells?
your stomach
What is isotonic in eye wash solution?
isotonic means that the solution is neither hypotonic, nor hypertonic. Thus, it won't make water inside your cells go out, and the water from the solution won't go to inside of your cells. This means that the solution contains about the same amount of dissolved substances as cytoplasm of your cells.

An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is a?
An isotonic solution for human red blood cells is .85% sodium chloride. When the osmotic pressure is the same outside the cells and inside the cells, the solution is isotonic.
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.

Cells are kept in what solution?
Cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.Isotonic means there is an equal concentration of solute both inside and outside of the cell.A hypertonic solution means that there is more solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will move out of the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to shrink. That is BAD.A hypotonic solution means that there is less solute in the solution compared to within the cell. Water will more into the cell to reach an isotonic state, causing the cell to swell and possibly burst or 'lyse'. That is also bad.That's why cells must be kept in an isotonic solution.
Which microscope field contains isotonic bathing solution?
I have the same packet. The answer is C. It took me forever to realize that the pictures were the answers. (: you are so wrong. and its not nice of you to purposely mislead someone looking for help. hypertonic means that the cells will be crenated or shrunk. so the answer is obiviously A
What is cells solution in which the concentration of dissolved substance in the solution is the same as concentration of dissolved substance inside a cell?
isotonic
