Question

Define hypotonic,hypertonic and isotonic solution

Answer 1

Hypotonic solution - If the external solution has lower concentration than the cell , then it is called hypotonic solution.

Hypertonic Solution- If the external solution has higher concentration than the cell , then it is called hypertonic solution.

Isotonic Solution-If the external solution has a similar concentration as the cell , then it is called isotonic solution.

Answer 2

Define hypotonic,hypertonic and isotonic solution

Answer

Hypotonic => a solution having higher osmotic pressure than another solution

Hypertonic => a solution having lower osmotic pressure than another solution

Isotonic => Two solutions having same osmotic pressureat a given temperature
