When two solutions are equal in their solute concentration?
When two solutions are equal in solute concentration, they are said to be isotonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell are balanced. This allows for a stable environment for cells to function properly.
What terms describes a solution with a higher concentration of dissolved substances relative to another solution?
You are probably looking for "dilute" but that is wrong, dilute is relative. A dilute solution of table salt (sodium chloride) can be a very different concentration to a dilute solution of slaked lime (calcium hydroxide).
If the solute concentration of a solution is increased how does that affect the water concentration of that solution?

What does added water do to a solution?
Typically, water will dilute a solution. However, that said, it also depends what you're adding the water to, ex. adding water to oil won't dilute in the same ways.
How do substances move in diffusion and osmosis?
Diffusion- This is the movement of substances from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Diffusion can be sped up by heat and by increasing the concentration of the diffusing substances. Osmosis-This is the movement of water down a concentration gradient across a semi-permeable membrane. Water crosses the membrane down its concentration gradient, from the side with the lower solute solution to the side with the higher solute solution. This is therefore making the lower solute solution more concentrated, while also diluting the higher solute concentration solution. Osmosis will carry on until equilibriium is reached which is said to be isotonic, when both sides have reached their equal concentrations. Emms B x
What is the behavior of cells in isotonic solution?
An isotonic solution is one in which the ionic environment is similar to that of the cytoplasm. Hence, when a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, there is no net diffusion of water into or out of the cell. The cell remains intact.
What do cells do in a salty or sugary substance?
A salt solution is said to be 'hypertonic'. The salty solution will make the water inside the cell leave the cell through osmosis. This is because of the concentration gradient.
What is happens when cells start to swell up with water?
Cells swell up in water because they are not isotonic to the solution they are residing in and therefore at equilibrium. For instance the cells in your body become dehydrated when water rushes out of the cell because the concentration is less on the outside (this is the concentration gradient). Solutes move from high to low concentration. Now since the cells are swelling up with water it is because water has rushed into the cell because the concentration was higher on the outside of the cell so it s said that the solution is hypertonic to the cell. In the case of water rushing out it is said that the solution is hypotonic. In addition it is important to know that this affects animal and plant cells differently. Refer to the link in the "related link" section. ________ Also, one should note that when a cell becomes too full of water, it explodes.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
What happens to animal cells in salt water?
Salt water is hypertonic (has more solute) to the cell. So when an animal cell is put in salt solution water will rush out and the cell will shrivel up because there is too much salt and too little water inside. the salt solution is said to be hypertonic to the cytoplasm of the cells.

When the concentration of solutes outside the cell and inside the cell are in equilibrium the solution is said to be?
When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, it is considered isotonic. Water still moves through the plasma membrane, but water enters and leaves the cell at an equal rate-it has reached an equilibrium, and there is no net movement of water.
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
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.
If the solute concentration of a solution is increased how does that affect the water concentration of that solution?

Is it true that if a solution has the same number of sodium particles as the solute the solution is said to be hypertonic?
No, a solution is considered hypertonic if it has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, typically leading to water moving out of cells placed in that solution. The presence of sodium particles alone does not determine hypertonicity; it depends on the overall concentration of solutes in comparison to the surrounding environment. Thus, the hypertonic nature of a solution is related to the relative concentrations of solutes, not just the number of sodium particles.
Why do herbaceous plants wilt when they do not have enough water and stand erect when they have water?
This relates to the type of solution the plant cells are exposed to. In general, there are 3 distinct types of solutions in nature: hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic. A hypotonic solution is one that has a low concentration of a solute relative to the solute concentration inside the cell, such as distilled water. An isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the inside of the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solute than the inside of the cell.Back to the plants...When plants wilt, that means the are exposed to an isotonic solution. When this happens, the net amount of water moving between cells and the environment is equal. As a result, the cell becomes flaccid and the plant wilts.When plants stand erect, this is a result of turgor pressure. When in a hypotonic solution, such as distilled water, the plant cells absorb the water and store it in its central vacuole. The cell cytoplasm enlarges and pushes up against the sturdy cell walls. This cell is said to be turgid, or stable.
