What are three types of solutions at affect cells?
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Is an isotonic solution or hypotonic solution safest for a patient?
Isotonic
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
Does isotonic solution cause osmosis?
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
What is the relationship of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell in a isotonic hypertonic and hypotonic solutions?
isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions are all composed of dissolved materials,and a cell can be placed in these solutions resulting in osmosis of some form.
What concentration are most intravenous solutions- are they hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic?
Isotonic, because that is close to the concentration in the blood.
What are three types of solutions at affect cells?
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic
Di fferent types of solution?
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
What are three types of solutions that can occur during osmosis?
hypertonic:has a relatively more solute. Isotonic - even distribution of solute. Hypotonic - has a relatively less solute.
What are 5 types of solutions?
There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.
Why do isotonic solutions have the same pecentages?
Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute and solvent which means that the solution is 50% solute and 50% solvent. Solutions which have more or less solute are called hypotonic and hypertonic.
Why give an isotonic solution?
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?
Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.
What term would be applied to each of the blood cells?
I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
What is the opposite of hypotonic?
isotonic
