A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water.
Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell.
In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
"hypertonic"
hypertonic hypertonic
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.
You can demonstrate osmosis in a non-living tissue by placing it in a hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solution and observing the movement of water. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the tissue, causing it to shrink. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the tissue, causing it to swell. In an isotonic solution, there will be no net movement of water.
Water is considered hypotonic because it has a lower solute concentration compared to the cytoplasm of most cells. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution like water, water molecules will move into the cell in an attempt to equalize solute concentrations, potentially causing the cell to swell or burst.

Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic.
A solution can be isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic.
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
You can determine if a solution is hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by comparing the concentration of solutes in the solution to the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment. If the solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the surrounding environment, it is hypotonic. If the solution has a higher concentration of solutes, it is hypertonic. If the concentrations are equal, the solution is isotonic.
One can determine if a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic by comparing the concentration of solutes in the solution to the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment. If the solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the surrounding environment, it is hypertonic. If the solution has a lower concentration of solutes, it is hypotonic. If the concentrations are equal, it is isotonic.

Hypertonic
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
