To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
The solution is said to be hypertonic to the cell. This means that there is a higher concentration of solute outside the cell compared to inside, causing water to move out of the cell in order to balance the concentration, which can lead to cell dehydration.
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
What happens when a hypotonic solution is separated from a hypertonic solution by an osmotic membrane?
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
Is a 2 percent salt solution hypertonic or hypotonic to a 4 percent salt solution?
A 2% salt solution is hypotonic compared to a 4% salt solution because it has a lower concentration of salt. In osmosis, water flows from hypotonic to hypertonic solutions, so in this case, water would flow from the 2% solution to the 4% solution to try to equalize the concentrations.
Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
Net movement of water across a cell membrane occurs?
from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What are the 3 stages of osmosis?
The three stages of osmosis are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water molecules. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.
How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution the same?
Hypertonic and hypotonic solutions both refer to the concentration of solutes compared to a cell. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell.
What is it called when the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell the inside?
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
A relatively low solute concentration is called hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, leading to water moving into the cell through osmosis.
How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
