Question

Describe hypotonic , isotonic and hypertonic solution

Answer 1

Hypotonic: a solution which contains more solute than solvent (example: a lot of salt(solute) dissolved in water(solvent))

Hypertonic: a solution which contains more solvent than solute (example: purified water--there's almost no solute dissolved in the solvent(water))

Isotonic: a solution in which the solute and solvent are equally distributed--a cell normally wants to remain in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of the liquid inside of it equals the concentration of the liquid outside of it.

Hope it helps you ...

Answer 2

hypotonic:It takes place when the amount of solute added is less when compared to solvent.
isotonic:in this solution,when the amount of solute added is equal to the amount of solvent.
hypertonic: Amount of solute added is more when compared to the amount of solvent.
