Should hypotonic or hypertonic solution be given for hypervolemia?

A hypertonic solution would be given when a patient is deficient in electrolytes or salts and needs to have them replenished.

What happens to a red blood cell when exposed to isotonic solutions?
If a red blood cell is placed in an isotonic solution then nothing should happen physically because an isotonic solution is one that has the same solute concentration as the red blood cell itself.
If a paramecium were to swim from a hypotonic environment to an isotonic one would the activity of its contractile vacuole increase or decrease?
The activity of the contractile vacoule would decrease. While in the hypotonic solution, water was moving into the paramecium because it had a higher solute concentration that the solution that it was in and water follows solute. So, the isotonic solution would contain the same solute concentration as the paramecium so there would be no net water movement. Therefore, the contractile vacoule would decrease in its activity because there would be no water entering or exiting the paramecium.
If you water a plant with salt water does water move in or out of the roots?
Water should move out of the roots, but if there is very, very little salt, water can still move into the roots. The real question is what the relative concentrations of solutes in the root and in the water are. Water will move from low concentration to high concentration areas, regardless if it's salt, sugar, or other dissolved solids.
Test of starch?
1. Place a small amount of starch powder in a test tube filled with cold water 2. Boil it to make a clear solution 3. Once the solution has cooled off, you should put 3 or 4 drops of iodine solution in it. 4. The solution should turn dark blue.
What is ratio between blood and broth in blood broth?
blood should be 5% by solution
What TPN solution should burn patients use?
Hypertonic dextrose solution
Why onion cells 5 percent salt solution hypertonic?
A cell is hypertonic when it has a greater concentration than its environment, but, when a solution is hypertonic, it has a greater concentration than the cell it is being compared to. For example, a 5% salt solution is hypertonic to an onion cell while the onion cell is hypotonic to the solution.The salt concentration of an onion cell must be less than 5% - actually its somewhere between 1.6 and 1.3 percent.This question should not be in genetics, but I don't feel like switching it.
What is an example of hypertonic food?
A hypertonic solution means a solution having more solute and less water than another solution. Examples are: corn syrup and saline and glucose solutions.
If a cell is dropped into a solution and the cell shrinks what should be assumed about the solution?
The solution is likely hypertonic and water is leaving the cell.
What would happen if fluid outside the cells became hypertonic?
Acell placed in a highly concentrated solution will result in the water molecules diffusing out of the cell. Eventually, the cell will shrink. It should be noted, however, that not all cells in a hypertonic solution will shrink. The cells have ways to circumvent hypertonicity (see osmoregulation).

Why should never over fertilized a plant?
Fertilizer may form a hypertonic solution in the soil thiat may draw out the water from the plant cells causing the plant to die...
Explain the effect what solutions on living cells hypertonic?
An isotonic solution means that the water potential of the solution is the same of that of the cells, so no osmosis should occur, which is why many experiements are necessary to occur in an isotonic solution. however if solutions are NOT isotonic, cells are affected. if the solution has a more negative water potential (stronger sugar concentration outside the cells than inside the cells) then water will leave the cells to try to even the water potentials. If an animal cell, the cell will shrivel up and if it is a plant cell, the cell membrane will shrivel up but the cell will keep its structure because of its cell wall. if the solution has a more positive water potential then water will enter the cell. If too much water enters the cell, then in an animal cell the cell will burst - lysis - and in a plant cell, a series of events will happen. First the cell membrane will expand until it bursts like in the animal cell. However there is still a cell wall but this is but semi-permable so fluids freeloy move pass it. The outside solution will fill into what is left of the cell. This is called plasmolysis. nice
What is an isotonic solution used for?
An IV solution should be isotonic to the blood so that the injected solution does not disrupt the fluid balance in the patient. If the solution is hypertonic, the patient may become dehydrated as the solution pulls water out of the patient's body tissues and into the blood stream. This can also cause severe problems with high blood pressure, as the blood volume can increase dramatically from this. If the solution is hypotonic, the patient may become edematous as the solution diffuses into the patient's body tissues. This can also cause severe problems with dependent edema and electrolyte loss. However, in some cases a doctor will deliberately choose a hypertonic or hypotonic solution for IV injection in certain medical emergencies.
Why should the cells in the body be in isotonic condition at all times?
If the cells are not isotonic, they are not in equilibrium. If the cell was in a hypertonic environment, the cell would become lysed and burst. If the cell was in a hypotonic environment, the cell would be deprived of fluids and shrivel. EX: when we take baths, our cells in our fingers absorb water and get pruny. when our cells are depleted or are starting to shrivel, we crave water to replenish them.
The contractile vacuole of a paramecium should be active when the paramecium is in what environment?
The contractile vacuole should be active when the paramecium is in water. We learned in 6th grade science that a contractile vacuole pumps water out of the cell to prevent it from getting too much water by osmosis. Without working contractile vacuoles, the cell would get too big and might die!
Which prokaryotes should be expected to be most strongly resistant to plasmolysis in hypertonic enviornments?
Extreme halophiles
