Hypotonic means higher amount of h20 and hypertonic means a smaller amount of h20. If the cell was for example in saltwater and it isn't meant to live in salt water, the inside of the cell would be hypotonic and outside would be hypertonic
hypertonic hypertonic
"hypertonic"
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
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.
This cell would be described as hypotonic. That means the higher osmotic pressure is in the cell and it is swollen because water is going down its concentration gradient into the cell and is less concentrated out side the cell.
hypertonic hypertonic
hypertonic solution
The concentration of water in and out of a cell.
"hypertonic"
A hypertonic environment with regard to the cell.
Neither. The structure of the gram negative cell wall protects the cell from hypotonic solutions. Is this what you were asking?
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.
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.
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
the outside would be hypertonic.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.
Water is hypotonic in relation to the cell membrane, meaning that it has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the inside of the cell.
