Question

Difference between hypotonic,hypertonic,isotonic

Answer 1

Hypotonic : having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid.

Hypertonic : hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.

Isotonic : An isotonic solution refers to two solutions having the same osmotic pressure across a semipermeable membrane.
