A solution can be hyperosmotic when it has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to a higher osmotic pressure. However, it can be considered hypotonic if its effective osmotic concentration—taking into account the permeability of the solutes across the membrane—results in a lower concentration of non-penetrating solutes compared to the surrounding environment. In this case, the solutes may be able to cross the membrane, allowing water to move into the cell, which can create a hypotonic effect despite the solution being hyperosmotic overall.
What else can I help you with?
What is hypotonic and its example?
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
What is a hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is being compared to. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell causing it to swell and potentially burst due to osmotic pressure.
What is a relatively low solute concentration called?
A relatively low solute concentration is called hypotonic. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, leading to water moving into the cell through osmosis.
Are the terms ''hypertonic'' and ''hyperosmotic'' same?
No. Hypertonic can be seen as hypo-osmotic and same for hypotonic and hyper-osmotic
Is the solution hypotonic in or out of the cell?
The solution is hypotonic when it is outside of the cell.
Is the solution in the experiment hypotonic or hypertonic?
The solution in the experiment is hypotonic.
When a cell is in pure water it is in this type of solution?
hypotonic
What are three types of solutions that can occur during osmosis?
Hypotonic solution: when the solute concentration is lower outside the cell causing water to move into the cell. Hypertonic solution: when the solute concentration is higher outside the cell causing water to move out of the cell. Isotonic solution: when the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the cell resulting in no net movement of water.
What is hypotonic and its example?
Hypotonic is a concentration of less solutes compared to that of another solution.
What happens when water moves out of a cell if the cell is placed in a what solution?
Hypotonic Solution
What is a hypotonic solution what will happen to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?
it swells and burst
A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
To which type of solution does water move: hypertonic or hypotonic?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
What is hypotonic solution?
A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration compared to the cells it surrounds. When cells are exposed to a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cells through osmosis, causing them to swell or potentially burst.
Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?
hypotonic
