Define Hypertonic, Hypotonic and Isotonic Solution
Answers
Explanation:
hypertonic : the solution in which the cell loses its water molecules due to more solute conc in the solution
hypotonic: the solution in which cell gains water molecules due to less solute conc in the solution
isotonic: the solution in which cell neither gains or losses water molecules i.e. the solution is in the same conc with respect to cell is called isotonic
Answer:
A solution that contains more dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood. For example, hypertonic solutions are used for soaking wounds.
A hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
The relative concentrations of solute and water are equal on both sides of the membrane.
