Is water an isotonic solution or hypo tonic solution?
Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients. These would be considered impurities to the pure H2O, or solutes dissolved in the water. Because the undistilled water has substances in it that the distilled water does not, it is hyper-(above)-tonic. The deionized water is hypo-(below)-tonic to the dirty water.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is a hypotonic solution of NaCl?
A hypotonic solution of NaCl has a lower concentration of salt (NaCl) compared to the concentration of salt inside a cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic NaCl solution, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell, potentially leading to cell lysis if the cell cannot regulate its volume adequately.
What is hypotonic 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.
What is the example of a hypotonic solution?
Distilled water.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
Is water an isotonic solution or hypo tonic solution?
Distilled water is hypotonic to undistilled water. Undistilled water is hypertonic to distilled water. Undistilled water contains chemicals, if you live in the city, and minerals and nutrients.

How does distilled water effect osmosis?
Distilled water has a lower concentration of solutes compared to a solution, causing it to be hypotonic. When placed across a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a higher solute concentration, water will move through osmosis from the distilled water side to the solution side. This will result in an increase in the volume of the solution as water moves into it.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in?
A red blood cell will undergo hemolysis in a hypotonic environment where the surrounding solution has a lower solute concentration than inside the cell. This causes water to move into the cell by osmosis, leading to swelling and eventual bursting of the cell membrane.
What type osmotic solution is distilled water?
Distilled water is a hypotonic solution, meaning it has a lower solute concentration than the solution it is compared to. This can cause water to move into cells via osmosis, potentially leading to swelling or bursting.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What happens to animal cells when in distilled water?
When placed in an hypotonic solution (distilled water) an animal cell will engore itself with the water to the point of brakage. This is because the cell itself is an isotonic (aka: has balances mineral content) and the "mineraless" water will become attracted to the stable solution inside the cell. A diagram can be found somewhere, I suggest looking up cells and hypotonic soutions in Biology.
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
hypotonic
Why cant distilled water be used as an IV solution?
Water is hypotonic compared to the serum/blood. Putting a hypotonic solution in there will cause dilution and may draw solutes out from the cells to compensate. This can kill a person. Even a small amount of water must be rendered isotonic prior to IV use.
What are some examples for hypotonic solution and its components?
Hypotonic actually stems from the early British invention of Tonic Water. Hypo, meaning "low," describes a Tonic Water that would have been stored on the bottom shelf. These were typically known to be of a lesser quality than the top shelf tonics, or "hyper" tonics. Therefore, hypotonic simply describes a lower quality solution, versus hypertonic, which describes a higher quality solution.
