When referring to hypo, hyper, or isotonic solutions remember it is a comparison of one environment to another. A hypotonic solution is one that contains a low level of solute compared to the solvent. Water, via osmosis travels from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration to achieve equilibrium. Plain water is hypotonic. The effect will differ depending upon a plant or animal cell. Hypotonic solutions usually push water into the cell. This is great for plant cells (thick cellulose membrane), but destructive for animal cells due to the thin cell wall.
What else can I help you with?
What are Three types of osmosis?
Isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
What solution causes osmosis?
Hypotonic Solution causes osmosis.
What are the three types of osmotic conditions?
Hypertonic, Hypotonic, and Isotonic.
What is an example of a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has less than normal tension: hypo = less, and tonic = tonicity, the concentration of solute. Examples of hypotonic solutions: (1) Sports drinks that contain salts / electrolytes (2) physiologically: a. 0.45% NaCl (half-normal saline solution); since normal saline is 0.9% NaCl, any solution less than 9% is hypotonic b. dextrose 2.5% in water c. dextrose 2% in water
What are considered normal results of a hypotonic duodenography?
The linings of the duodenum and surrounding tissues will look smooth and even. The shape of the head of the pancreas will appear normal and near the duodenal wall.
What is a hypotonic mega workforce coolant?
energy drink
Is a hypotonic and hemolytic solution safe to drink?
No, a hypotonic and hemolytic solution is not safe to drink, as it can cause red blood cells to burst (hemolysis) and lead to complications such as anemia or organ damage. It is important to only consume solutions that are safe for ingestion and compatible with the body's physiological processes.
Is salt hypotonic?

What is hypotonic and its example?
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the-?
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the solute.
