Hypo- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute (essentailly ions) inside a cell is less than the amount of solute outside a cell. In this situation a cell will take in water in order to take in more solute and eventually reach a state of equilibrium, or isotonic. Hyper- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute inside a cell is more than the amount outside the cell. The cell will lose water in this case in an effort to remove more ions and reach a state of ion concentration equal with the environment.

∙ 11y agoAnything that is not urine is solute (particles) urine itself is solvent. Hyper tonic urine is a urine with high amount of particles and hypo tonic urine urine with low amount of particles.

Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
Which has more salt in it a hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
Yes, for us. Most vertebral life has been set at .9 percent for about 250 million years, and sea water is about 3 percent. But there are many life forms that are isotonic with sea water (the invertebrates of the oceans).
Is TPN a hypertonic solution?
hypertonic
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
If a 5 per cent sucrose solution is separated from a 10 per cent sucrose solution by a semipermeable membrane Which solution is hypotonic Which solution is hypertonic?
The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic."Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin."Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).
Is dns hypo or hypertonic fluid?
hypertonic
Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?
hyper
What is hyper tonic and what is hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
What is the difference between a hypo and a hyperreactor relative to the cold pressor test?
The cold test determines if there's change is blood pressure. The difference in Hypo and Hyperreactor is that hypo is a lot smaller.
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
What is the difference between hydro and hypo?
Hydro- is a combining form meaning water; hypo- is a combining form meaning below.
Why does vinegar cause a hard-boiled egg to expand?
Diffusion between hypo/hypertonic substances across a semipermeable membrane. AKA: The water from the vinegar fills the egg
What is the Difference between phosphoric acid and hypo-phosphoric acid?

Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
Hypo-osmotic, it depends on the osmolality, if the osmolality is higher inside the cell its called hypotonic.
When something is hypotonic does it move fast?
Hypo and hypertonic have nothing to do with moving fast. They have to do with concentrations of solutes in solvents. The movement is probably molecules and that depends on temperature.
