Hypertonic solutions are solutions that have a higher concentration than that of its immediate environment. The effects of hypertonic solutions on living cells is crenation in animal cells and plasmolysis in plant cells.

What type of solution is hypertonic?

Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water.


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 term would be applied to each of the blood cells?

I think those the effects of Osmosis which are: Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic solutions.


What are the examples of hypertonic solutions with their effects?

Saline solution with a highter concentration the 0.9% are hypertonic as are soutions that contain 10% dextrose. Combinations of hypertonic solutions are 0.9% NACl with 5% Dextrose or higher. These solutions when given IV will draw fluid out of the cells or intersticial tissues and into the blood stream then ideally will be forced through the kidneys into the urine for evacuation. If a person has overhydration, or edema a hypertonic solution may be used to draw it out.


Cells lose water when placed in which of the following solutions?

A hypertonic solution.


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 is the term used to describe a type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?

Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.

Two cells were placed in a container containing liquid X they both shrunk what is liquid X?

Liquid X is likely a hypertonic solution, meaning it has a higher solute concentration than the cells. When cells are placed in a hypertonic solution, water leaves the cells to try to equalize the concentration, causing them to shrink in a process called plasmolysis.


What is the term used to describe the type of solution in which cells will lose water to their environment?

Cells immersed in hypertonic solutions lose water and shrink, or crenate.


Which of the 3 intravenous solutions isotonic hypotonic hypertonic has more electrolytes andor glucose content - please differentiate the three solutions based on the mentioned content?

Hypertonic solutions have more electrolytes....HYPER meaning greater/more/excessive. Hypotonic have the least electrolyes. Isotonic have the similar electroly (osmolality) as blood. Meaning if you give isotonic solutions, the fluid will saty in the vessels and not move fluids around. Hypertonic solutions will move water from the cells into the vessels (extracellualr) and hypotonic solution will move water from fluid from the vessels into the cells. Glucose is usually an iso or hypertonic solution, but there are different % of glucose in every solution. D5W is an isotonic solution.


What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?

Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
