If a 5 per cent sucrose solution is separated from a 10 per cent sucrose solution by a semipermeable membrane Which solution is hypotonic Which solution is hypertonic?
The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic."Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin."Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).
What is an osmotically active substance?
It is a solute that causes osmosis to occur. For instance, if a solution contains sucrose and the membrane is impermeable to sucrose,, water will move out of the cell and into the solution to dilute it. Hence the solution is hypertonic. Sucrose would be considered an osmotically active solution in this case because it induces osmosis of water across a membrane.
Is TPN a hypertonic solution?
hypertonic
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Is albumin hypertonic?
yes

A dialysis bag is filled with distilled water and then placed in a sucrose solution?
Distilled water will move out of the dialysis bag and into the sucrose solution due to osmosis and the fact that the dialysis bag has a hypertonic solution of H2O as compared to the sucrose solution.

Why is it that when you put a potato in a high concentration of sucrose solution does its weight decrease?
This is because the potato, which is mostly water, is in a hypertonic solution (a solution with less water and more solute --here, sucrose-- than the potato). Since the solutions want to reach equilibrium (equal amounts of sucrose and water in both the solution and the potato), water diffuses out of the potato and sucrose diffuses into it. The potato loses its water weight, and sucrose doesn't replace the weight lost, the potato weighs less.

What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
Is 10gdL of NaCl hypertonic in blood?
It is hypertonic.
Is dns hypo or hypertonic fluid?
hypertonic
Are saltwater fish hypotonic or hypertonic?
hypertonic!
What causes cytosis?
when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution. Hypertonic or hypotonic, but I'm pretty sure hypertonic :)
