Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypertonic. This is because the water has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato.
Is the isotonic point of saltwater plants higher than freshwater?
Yes, ofcourse
Is water a better conductor than plastic?
No, water is not a better conductor of electricity than silver.Water can become a better conductor in acidic medium(by decreasing its pH). But it may split up into Hydrogen & Oxygen.
How do cells respond to environments with different solute concentrations?
There are three types of solute concentrations, Isotonic, Hypotonic and Hypertonic. The prefix refers to how much solute is in the solution as compared to the inside of the cell. In Isotonic, the cell and solution have the same concentration of solute, so the cell stays the same size. In Hypertonic, the cell has less solute than the solution, and therefore gives water to to balance out and shrivels. In Hypotonic, the cell has more solute than the solution, and accepts water from the solution, thereby swelling, which is potentially beneficial in plant cells but can destroy animal cells. I hope this answers your questions. Isotonic is the best for animals, hypotonic is the best for plants.
Can salt water conduct electricity better than regular water?
yes
Why are bottled drinks better than canned drinks?
bottle drinks are said to cause cavities so caned drinks are better
Why is it better to drink soft drinks than water?
No sugar, no artificial colors or additives , and water hydrates the body better.And calorie free.
A cell that has neither a net gain nor a net lose of water when it is immersed in a solution is?
A cell that neither gains nor loses water when it is immersed in a solution is called isotonic to its environment. Cells with a higher concentration of ions than the surrounding medium tend to expand.
Is a potato in salt water Hypertonic hypotonic or isotonic?
Hypertonic. This is because the water has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato.
2 glasses of wine is better than 4 whiskey 30ml diluted with water drinks?
This depends on what you mean by better. They are roughly the same amount of alcohol, but there are variables of how large the glasses of wine, the alcohol content of the wine, and the alcohol content of the whiskey. There is no diluting of the drinks. Water keeps you hydrated but doesn't make it "better".
Is carbonated water hotter than normal water?
Carbonation does not alter temperature. In fact, carbonated soft drinks are normally refrigerated. They taste much better when they are cold.
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).
Is 10 percent of NaCl isotonic?
No, it is far from isotonic. there's even more salt in it than in ocean water (3%).A typical home recipe for an isotonic solution, used for nasal spray, consists of 1⁄2 litre of water, 4 to 5 grams (1 teaspoon) of salt. This is about 10 grams per Litre or 1 % NOT 10%
Why the energy drinks have same water potential to a cell?
sport drinks have a lower water content but higher water suluble content than your body
Do fizzy drinks fill you up more than water?
Yes, because the bubbles take up more space in your stomach.
Whats A drink other than water?
Are you joking?. there are LOADS of drinks other then water.
Is Gatorade better for you than water or diet drinks?
No. Water is usually the best thing to drink. One should only drink Gatorade after at least an hour of physical activity, but water is still the best thing for you.
