Question

Differentiate between isotonic and hypotonic solution

Answer 1

Answer:

Hypotonic refers to a lesser concentration. In biology, a hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes outside the cell than inside the cell. In an attempt to balance the concentrations of solutes inside and outside the cell, water will rush into the cell, and can cause it to burst.

An isotonic solution is one in which its effective osmole concentration is the same as the solute concentration of a cell. In this case the cell neither swells nor shrinks because there is no concentration gradient for water across the cell membrane. Water molecules diffuse through the plasma membrane in both directions, and as the rate of water diffusion is the same in each direction that cell will neither gain nor lose water.

Answer:

HEY MATE...

GOOD EVE ♦

If the medium has exactly the same concentration of water as the cell , there will be no net movement of water.This is called isotonic solution.

If the medium surrounding the cell has high concentration of water.This water moves inside the cell from a region of higher to lower concentration.This is called hypotonic solution.
