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.

Different types of solutions are the hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.


Do you soak celery in hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic solution?

hypotonic


Why give an isotonic solution?

When comparing solutions, those that have the same concentration are isotonic. One that is more concentrated is hypertonic; less concentrated is hypotonic.


is water hypotonic?

yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.


Is mizone a isotonic hypotonic or a hypertoni?

hypertonic


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 are 5 types of solutions?

There are many different types of solutions. Some examples of different solutions are isotonic solutions, hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions.


Is 0.8 NaCl a hypertonic solution?

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.


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's the difference between hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic solutions"?

Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move out of the cell. Hypotonic solutions have a lower concentration of solutes compared to the cell, causing water to move into the cell. Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.
