Solution that has lower osmolarity than blood
when administering to patient
*water leaves the blood and other ecf areas
*and enters the cell
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
The solution in the experiment is hypotonic.
hypotonic
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
Hypotonic Solution
it swells and burst
hypertonic hypertonic
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
hypotonic
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.
A relatively low solute concentration is called hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, leading to water moving into the cell through osmosis.
