Question

What are Hypertonic and Hypotonic solution?

Answer 1

hypertonic solution

if the medium has a lower concentration of water then the cell meaning that is very concentrated solution the cell will lose water by osmosis such a solution is known as hypertonic solution.

hypotonic solution

if the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration then the cell meaning that the outside solution is very diluted the cell will gain water by osmosis such a solution is known as hypotonic solution.

Answer 2
