state 3 types of solutions with examples
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
→ Solutes are the particles that are dissolved in a solvent, and together they form a solution. In your body, these solutes are ions like sodium and potassium. There are three types of solutions that can occur in your body based on solute concentration: isotonic, hypotonic, and hypertonic.
⇒ Hypertonic solution example - Saline solution
⇒ Hypotonic solution - Plants and Fungi
Large plants and fungi control the environment around their cells, helping ensure the environment is always a hypotonic solution, compared to the cells. This creates cells that are turgid. The turgid cells push outward on their cell walls, which push against each other creating a rigid structure. The organisms are constantly cycling solutes, to keep the contents of their cells filled with water. If you’ve ever over-fertilized your garden, you know it is not good for plants. The added solutes in the soil turn the hypotonic solution around the roots into a hypertonic solution. Thus, the roots and entire plant are quickly drained of water. Organisms in this condition will quickly die because they cannot complete the reactions necessary to sustain life.
⇒ Isotonic solution - Intravenous solutions for patients and cleaning solutions for contact lenses.
