Comparison chart for hypotonic solution isotonic solution hypertonic solution

Answer 1

Three terms—hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic—are used to compare the osmolarity of a cell to the osmolarity of the extracellular fluid around it. ... In an isotonic solution—iso means the same—the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell, and there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cell.
