Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic
What are the types of solution outside the cell?
hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic...
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
Is half-normal saline solution isotonic?
it's hypotonic
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
Is an isotonic solution or hypotonic solution safest for a patient?
Isotonic
Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
hypotonic
What are three properties of a solution?
A solution can be isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic.

Does isotonic solution cause osmosis?
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
Is half normal saline solution isotonic?
it's hypotonic
Is normal saline hypotonic?
Normal Saline is an isotonic solution.

Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
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.
Is 5 glucose isotonic?
Many chemists (not all) consider this solution as hypotonic.
