What is isotonic pressure?
A term applied when two solutions have identical concentrations of of solute molecules and hence the same osmotic pressure, or isotonic pressure.
How do net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure each change along the length of a capillary?
Net osmotic pressure stays about the same and net hydrostatic pressure decreases.
There are several over-the-counter eyewash products on the market Describe what would happen if they were not isotonic solutions?
The eyes would swell up. An Isotonic solution has the same osmotic pressure as blood; therefore, it doesn't allow the liquid to be absorbed.
When the osmotic pressure is the same on both side's of a semipermeable membrane each solution is said to be?
Isotonic solution.
What is a solution that has the same osmotic concentration as a cell's cytoplasm?
IT basically is a isotonincsolution since it is based on a theory trust mme :D

What two solutions are isotonic?
Two isotonic solutions are two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure. This term is generally used referring to solutions in a cell or body fluid.
Why different solutions of different substance at the same temperature have same osmotic pressure?
Are you talking about gases? I think there is a mistake in the question you are asking.
What solutions will give rise to a greater osmotic pressure at equilibrium 3.60 g of nacl in 351.2 ml water or 50.0 g of glucose in 400.8 ml water for NaCl mw 58.5 amu for glucose m?
Both solutions give rise to the same osmotic pressure.
Why Albumin and Glucose have the same osmotic pressure?
Albumin and glucose have the same osmotic pressure because they are isotonic compounds.
What is isomotic solution?
iso-osmotic is different to isotonic even though they have the same number of solute particles as in the inside of red blood cells in isotonic solutions movement of water in and out of the cell is the same and RBC's remain unchaged, in iso-osmotic solutions RBC swell and burst this is because the semi permeable cell membrane cannot exclude iso-osmotic solutios as it can other solutes, causing a concentration gradient
What do we call 2 solutions that have the same water potential?
Iso-osmotic or isosmotic
How do net hydrostatic pressure and net osmotic pressure each change along the length of a capillary?
Net osmotic pressure stays about the same and net hydrostatic pressure decreases.
What is saline solution percent has same osmotic pressure as erythrocytes?
0.9%
How does potassium affect osmotic pressure?
same as other ions. Note that in your body potassium salts within cells balances the osmotic pressure of sodium salts in the extracellular fluid.
What is the Difference between isosmotic and isotonic solution?
isotonic solution comprise non-penetrating solute and they are solution having the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround. they are neither absorbed or do they absorb anything from the cell.Iso-osmotic solutions are comprise penetrating and non-penetrating solutes .although they have the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround ,they comprise penetrating solute ,which can enter the cell and increase the cell's osmotic pressure .increasing the cell's osmotic pressure,make the cell prone to absorb water from the medium in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides,and this cause bursting of the cell.
What is The pressure exerted against the cell membrane and cell wall known as?
hydrostatic pressure or turgor (same thing)
