if there was a bag of a hypotonic solution siting in a cup full of water, the water would move into the bag, with the goal of diluting the solute.

What's the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions"?

Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move into the cell. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.


How do hypotonic solutions rehydrate cells?

A hypotonic solution contains less solutes than the cell, and so water will be drawn into the cell by osmosis.


A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in what solutions?

A cell would plump with water and possibly lyse in hypotonic solutions, where the external solution has a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell. Water would move into the cell to equalize the solute concentration, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst.


What are three types of solutions at affect cells?

Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration than the cell, causing water to move out of the cell and shrink it. Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration than the cell, leading water to move into the cell and potentially burst it. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.


What are the types of solution outside the cell?

The two main types of solutions outside the cell are hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell, and hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. These solutions can affect the cell's size and function.


What is the similarities between hypertonic solution and hypotonic solution?

The only similarities are that these deal with solutions. If the cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the amount of salt (or sugar) will be lower, and water will move into the cell, and it will swell. Water will move from a lower concentration of water to a higher to reach a balance. The opposite will be true for hypertonic solutions, the cell will lose water. They appear crenate or serrated.


What is hypotonic cell?

A hypotonic cell has a lower concentration of solutes compared to its surrounding environment, causing water to move into the cell and potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting. This can disrupt the cell's internal balance and affect its functions.


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.


To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?

Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.


Are hypotonic solutions found in animal cells plant cells or both?

Hypotonic solutions can be found in both animal and plant cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the cell is lower than inside the cell, causing water to move into the cell. This can lead to swelling and potentially bursting of the cell if not regulated properly by the cell.


What are the osmotic situations?

The osmotic situations include hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher outside the cell, causing water to move out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell, leading to cell swelling. Isotonic solutions have the same solute concentration inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.


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.
