What type of solutions are better than the other hyper-tonic or hypo-tonic for bacteria. why?

Hypertonic solutions are heavily saturated with sugar, since the concentration is higher on the outside of the cell than the inside osmosis will occur by transfering water to the outside of the cell in an attempt to establish an equilibrium.
if the solution is hypotonic the direction of osmosis is likely to be towards the cell because the cells concentration is greater than its surroundings, thus is won't be dehydrated.
In conclusion hypertonic solutions don't allow bacteria to thrive as easily.

How does 70 isopropanol works on bacteria?
Here is a great website to check out for more description about how alcohols kill bacteria... http://www.byedr.com/medicine/4075-byedr-1.html Basically, the alcohol causes the proteins of the bacteria to denature and coagulate. This is a lethal event. Interestingly, solutions that are mixed with water (ie 60-70% isopropanol or ethanol) are more effective at killing bacteria that 100% alcohol. This is because the water helps the alcohol permeate into the bacteria better where it can do it's killing action...
Why do you think bacteria are better solution to some environmental problems then chemicals?
Using bacteria the chemical pollution can be avoided.
Why is cell turgidity usefyl to plant?
Turgid plant cells mean that the organism has more than enough water, and this causes the cells to be in a hypotonic state. Plants that have enough water are generally healthier, and the turgid cells support the plant better. Furthermore, studies have shown that plant cells perform the best in a hypotonic state.
Is bacteria used to make foods helpful or harmful?
Both, there are good bacteria to help make you better and there are bad bacteria to make you sick. That is where the common cold comes from.
Are Clorox wipes better than Lysol wipes for killing bacteria?
Clorox wipes smell better, so that makes them better.
Is isotonic better than hypotonic and hypertonic?
Yes if you are speaking about use with blood. An isotonic solution has the same concentration of specific elements as you blood preventing cellular damage. If you used a hypertonic solution all the water would leave the cell and it would crenate. If you use a hypotonic solution water would move into the cell quickly and the cell would burst (lyse).
Will an egg float better in salt water than regular water?
Salt water. Salt water is very hypotonic and will force the egg to float. Regular water is hypertonic and force water in. Causing the egg to sink like the Titanic.
How are tears a part of out immune system?
They contain lysosomes.. spelling? They essentially break down the peptidoglycan layer surrounding the bacteria cell membrane can the cell can't control water regulation so the membrane expands until it bursts or shrinks until it dies, it depends on whether or not it is in a hypotonic or hypertonic solution. Isotonic solution.. then well the cell can technically live for a while, we use this as method of extracting cells for study and gain better access to them.
Why do plant cell function better in hypotonic conditions better than in hypertonic conditions?
Since plant cells have cell walls, the osmotic pressure that results from their being in a hypotonic solution will not be as likely to cause the cell to lyse. Animal cells simply swell until they lyse.
