Question

scoperty. I Explain the following: a) Isotonic Solutions 2) Hypotonic solutions. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Isotonic Solution:

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.

Hypotonic Solution:

If the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell, i.e., if the solution is very dilute solution, then the cell will gain water by osmosis. Such dilute solution is called Hypotonic solution.
