osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane. Regualtes cells osmotic pressure.
diffusion- simply means that a substance travels down its concentration gradient to areas of lower solute concentration. Osmosis is a type of diffusion.
hypotonic solution: if a cell is placed in an hypotonic solution (a solution with less solute concentration) the cell will swell (and eventually lyse) as water rushes into it to dilute the hypertonic environment in the cell.
hypertonic solution: if a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution thecell will shrivel up as water leaves it to dilute the higher solute concentration outside of the cell.
"hypertonic"
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.
Most intravenous solutions are isotonic, meaning they have a similar concentration of solutes as human blood and cells. This helps prevent complications such as cell shrinkage or swelling when the solution enters the bloodstream.
In an isotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials inside and outside the cell is the same, resulting in no net movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to leave the cell and leading to cell shrinkage. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of dissolved materials outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to enter the cell and potentially leading to cell swelling or bursting.
Hypotonic solution: when the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell. Hypertonic solution: when the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. Isotonic solution: when the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the cell resulting in no net movement of water.
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
hypotonic
When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.
hypertonic
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
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.
There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.
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.
Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, causing no net movement of water. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes, causing water to leave the cell and shrink. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes, causing water to enter the cell and swell.
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.
Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.
