When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.
isotonic
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
Normal Saline Solution in 5% Dextrose or D5NSS is a hypertonic solution. It can be used for the temporary treatment of shock if plasma expanders are not available. However, do not administer this IV for clients with cardiac or renal conditions.
hypotonic
A solution can be isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic.
"hypertonic"
You can determine if a solution is hypotonic, hypertonic, or isotonic by comparing the concentration of solutes in the solution to the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment. If the solution has a lower concentration of solutes than the surrounding environment, it is hypotonic. If the solution has a higher concentration of solutes, it is hypertonic. If the concentrations are equal, the solution is isotonic.
One can determine if a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic by comparing the concentration of solutes in the solution to the concentration of solutes in the surrounding environment. If the solution has a higher concentration of solutes than the surrounding environment, it is hypertonic. If the solution has a lower concentration of solutes, it is hypotonic. If the concentrations are equal, it is isotonic.
isotonic
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
Hypotonic is a solution that has more solute than solvent while hypertonic is a solution which contains more solvent than solute. Isotonic is a solution where in both solute and solvent are equal in amount.
Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.

The three stages of osmosis are isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic. In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water molecules. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, leading to cell shrinkage.
