Hypo- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute (essentailly ions) inside a cell is less than the amount of solute outside a cell. In this situation a cell will take in water in order to take in more solute and eventually reach a state of equilibrium, or isotonic. Hyper- tonic is a state in which the amount of solute inside a cell is more than the amount outside the cell. The cell will lose water in this case in an effort to remove more ions and reach a state of ion concentration equal with the environment.
What else can I help you with?
Is a solution outside of a cell contains a greater concentration of dissolved particles than the contents of the cell the solution is said to be what?
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.
Which has more salt in it a hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
A hypertonic solution has more salt compared to an isotonic or hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes, such as salt, is higher than inside the cells, causing water to move out of the cells.
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
Does water go from hyper tonic to hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
Is water hypertonic in nature?
No, water is not hypertonic in nature.
Is dns hypo or hypertonic fluid?
hypertonic
What is hyper tonic and what is hypo tonic?
i think the question that you are asking is what is the difference between hyper and hypo tonic. A fluid that has a greater concentration of solutes in comparison to another solution is a hypertonic solution. A hypotonic solution is a fluid that has a lower concentraton of solutes in comparison to another solution.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
Why does vinegar cause a hard-boiled egg to expand?
Diffusion between hypo/hypertonic substances across a semipermeable membrane. AKA: The water from the vinegar fills the egg
What's the difference between isotonic and hypertonic solutions"?
Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cells, while hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes than the cells.
Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
Which solution has more solute-hypo or hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solute compared to a hypotonic solution. In a hypertonic solution, the concentration of solutes is higher, causing water to move out of the cells. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes is lower, which leads to water moving into the cells.
What is the Difference between the prefixes hypo and hyper?
Hypo relates to a lack of whatever stem it is attached to, and hyper relates to an abundance. Ex: hypoglycemic: low blood sugar | hypoglycemic: high blood sugar.
What is the difference between epicenter and hypo center?
The epicenter is the origin of an earthquake. However, a hypocenter is the exact spot where a bomb has been dropped.
What is the difference between a hypertonic needle and a hypotonic needle?
A hypotonic needle is a needle that is a non coring needle. A hypertonic needle is a coring needle. Both of these needles are used in IV's with a hypotonic needle used for hypotonic solutions.
What is the difference between hydro and hypo?
Hydro- refers to water or liquid, while hypo- means below or less than. For example, dehydration is a condition where the body lacks adequate water (hydro-), while hypoglycemia is a condition with lower-than-normal blood sugar levels (hypo-).
