A solute is a substance that dissolves in a solvent. Like salt (solute) dissolving in water (solvent). The two together make up a solution.

What is the difference between isosmotic and isotonic solutions?

Isosmotic solutions have the same concentration of solutes, while isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes and the same osmotic pressure.


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.


What are the differences between isotonic, hypertonic, and hypotonic solutions in terms of their effects on cells?

Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, causing no net movement of water. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes, causing water to leave the cell and shrink. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes, causing water to enter the cell and swell.


What's the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions"?

Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move into the cell. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.


What is the relationship among solutions solutes ans solvents?

Solutions are mixtures of solutes (substances being dissolved) in solvents (substances doing the dissolving). Solutes dissolve in solvents to form a homogeneous mixture where solutes are uniformly distributed in the solvent. The amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent is determined by factors like temperature and pressure.

Solutions with low concentrations of solutes are?

Dilute solutions with low concentrations of solutes. They have a smaller amount of solute dissolved in the solvent compared to concentrated solutions. Dilute solutions are commonly found in everyday scenarios like weak tea or watered-down juice.
