Hypertonic solution is a solution that's concentration is higher than the eukaryotic cell that is placed in ....it is normally used in situations where you need to show diffusion or osmosis out of the cell ...
If we take a example of cell then if the solution outside the cell containing less solutes as compare to inside of cell then that solution is hypotonic and if the solution outside the cell contain more solute concentration then it is hypertonic solution
One example of a hypertonic IV solution is 3% saline, which has a higher concentration of salt than the human body. This solution is used to draw fluid out of the body's cells and into the bloodstream to treat conditions like hyponatremia or cerebral edema.
Placed in a hypertonic solution with a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to leave the cell and the cell to shrink and shrivel.
If a human red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, the red blood cell will swell and eventually burst. The reason for this is because a hypotonic solution has a higher osmotic pressure compared to the cytoplasm of the red blood cell. Thus, the water from the hypotonic solution moves into the red blood cell causing it to rupture.
If human red blood cells are placed in a Ringer solution, which is an isotonic solution, they will maintain their normal shape and structure. The osmotic balance between the solution and the cells will prevent any swelling or shrinking of the red blood cells.

A solution on which the concentration of solutes is greater than that of the cell that resided on the solutionIn healthcare you will often hear the words iso- and hypertonic solutions. A third option the "hypotonic" solution is also a possbility.As many people will know, the human blood contains both sodium, potassium, chloride salts. In healthcare a solution will be hypertonic when the amount of salts in it exceeds that of human blood. It will be isotonic (iso meaning "same") when the amount of salts are comparable to that of blood. Finally the solution will be considered hypotonic when the amount of salts present in the solution is less than that of blood.Hypertonic: More concentratedIsotonic: Just as concentratedHypotonic: Less as concentrated.

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.
Hypertonic for human blood fluid means that more than 0.9% NaCl is present (as only solute).This is 9 grams per liter divided by 58.5 grams per mole NaCl or 0.154 moles Na+ AND 0.154 moles Cl- per liter = total of 0.308 moles dissolved particles as hypertonicity.The same hypertonicity is reached with 0.308 / 3 = 0.103 moles CaCl2 per liter (3 particle ions per molecule)
I guess that depends on what you are comparing the solution to? In comparison to human blood, it is most certainly a hypertonic solution, because there is a much higher concentration of Na+ and Cl- in the solution than in the blood. An isotonic solution would only be 0.89% NaCl. See related link for more details.
Hypertonic. The concentration of dissolved salts is higher in ocean water than in human cells.
If you drink ocean water when your dehydrated it makes you even more so. In a hypertonic solution water moves out of the cells because the the particles want to have equal concentration gradients. Since a hypertonic solution has a high concentration of solutes in it it makes sense for the water from a cell to move out so that the environment in the cell and environment outside both have the same concentration of solutes. Human cells shrivel in a hypertonic solution, this kills the cells and can therefore kills you if enough cells can't function. answer: the indivdual dies
He/she is too proud? Maybe arrogant?
Normal saline is an example of an isotonic fluid. It contains 0.9% salt in water.An isotonic solution is a solution that contains the same concentration of solutes (dissolved particles) as blood. Isotonic saline is an example. Isotonic saline is a solution with the same concentration of salts as human blood.
