Question

Difference in hypertonic hypotonic and isotonic

Answer 1

Answer:

The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is know as its tonicity.

Explanation:

If the extracellular fluid has a higher osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm, it’s said to be hypertonic—hyper means greater than—to the cell, and water will move out of the cell to the region of higher solute concentration.

If the extracellular fluid has lower osmolarity than the fluid inside the cell, it’s said to be hypotonic—hypo means less than—to the cell, and the net flow of water will be into the cell.

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.
