A solution with the same ratio of solute to solvent (concentration) as another solution is called isotonic. If it has more solvent and thus a lower solute concentration, then it is called hypertonic.
isotonic solution
A solution that has an equal amount of particles is called an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cells, leading to no net movement of water across the cell membrane. This allows cells to maintain their shape and size.
The isotonic solution for Urea would be a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as a cell. This concentration would typically be around 0.15 M for Urea.
There would be no effects. Your blood is already isotonic.
when net solute concentrations are equal on both sides of a semi permeable membrane its called isotonic
When a solution has the same concentration of water molecules and solutes as a red blood cell, it is considered an isotonic solution. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water into or out of the red blood cell, maintaining its normal shape and function.
The solution is called isotonic when the cell is in equilibrium. This means that the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water across the cell membrane.
Isotonic.
No. An isotonic solution would not cause a cell to shrink, because the concentration of water in the solution and inside the cell is the same. A hypertonic solution would cause a cell to shrink.
Addition of water.
In an isotonic solution, cells reach a point called dynamic equilibrium where there is an equal concentration of solute inside and outside the cell. This means that there is no net movement of water into or out of the cell, maintaining cell volume and function.
Nothing. There would be no gradient between the cell and the solution.
