Question

what are hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic solution?​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, and the cell will shrink. In an isotonic environment, there is no net water movement, so there is no change in the size of the cell. When a cell is placed in a hypotonic environment, water will enter the cell, and the cell will swell

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hypertonic soluion: A solution having higher concentration of solute with respect to another solution. It thus, gains water or solvent by osmosis across a semi permeable membrane.

Hypotonic solution: A solution having lesser concentration of solute with respect to another solution. It thus, losses water or solvent by osmosis across the semi permeable membrane.

Isotonic solution: A solution having a concentration same as that of the other solution. Thus it neither gains nor loses water by osmosis.
