A solution that has only a little solute is called a dilute solution. In a dilute solution, the concentration of the solute is low compared to the solvent. The amount of solute in the solution is relatively small.
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.
Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.
water moves from a high concentration to a low concentration in a cell
The terms "dilute" and "saturated" describe different states of concentration in a solution. A dilute solution has a low concentration of solute relative to the solvent, meaning there is more solvent present compared to solute. In contrast, a saturated solution contains the maximum concentration of solute that can dissolve in the solvent at a given temperature, beyond which any additional solute will not dissolve. Thus, both terms provide insight into how much solute is present in relation to the solvent in a solution.
A solution with a low concentration contains a small amount of solute dissolved in a larger amount of solvent. This means there are relatively few solute particles present compared to the solvent. Low concentration solutions are often used for dilution purposes or in very sensitive analytical techniques.
Yes, the movement of water in a hypertonic solution is from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
A dilute solution.
Osmosis occurs when water moves from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration. This is due to the tendency of water to move from an area of high concentration (low solute) to an area of low concentration (high solute) in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
No, in a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration is lower outside the cell compared to inside the cell, so the transition is from a high concentration to a low concentration.
A solution that has only a little solute is called a dilute solution. In a dilute solution, the concentration of the solute is low compared to the solvent. The amount of solute in the solution is relatively small.
If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is high, it is called a concentrated solution If the amount of solute in unit volume of the solution is low, it is called dilute solution
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.
The hypertonic solution in question is characterized by a high concentration.
a solution containing a high concentration of solute
The low concentration can be 'a particular thing is present in low quantity'.... same way how low concentration of salt in water means low quantity of salt in water.....it is used in biology......for hypertonic solution, isotonic solution, hypotonic solution..........
The solution has a lower concentration. We can also say that it is dilute. Concentration is the amount of solute over the volume of solvent, thus when a large amount of solvent is used, concentration of the solution is low.
