explain hipertonic and hisotonic soluction
Answers
Answer:
A solution will be hypertonic to a cell if its solute concentration is higher than that inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane. ... If the solute concentration outside the cell is the same as inside the cell, and the solutes cannot cross the membrane, then that solution is isotonic to the cell.

Hey there!
➜ A hypertonic solution is a solution which contains higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside. A cell placed in hypertonic solution shrinks.
➜ If the medium surrounding the cell is of exactly the same water concentration as inside the cell, there will be no net movement of water across membrane resulting in no change in size of cell. Such solution is called Isotonic solution. If the cell is placed in isotonic solution; it will neither shrink or swell.
Hope it helps! :)
