What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

they deal with the concentration of the solution with which we are concerned.if the external solution is more concentrated than our solution ,then it is said to be hypertonic.if the external concentartion is the same as that of ours then it is isotonic And if it is dilute than our solution it is said to be hypotonic.

Answer 3

Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution .

Answer 4

These terms refer to the concentration of solutes in a solution compared to the concentration of solutes inside a cell. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration, and hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration. These relationships are important in understanding how water and solutes move across cell membranes through processes like osmosis.
