what do you mean by hypotonic solution
Answers
hope it's helpful..
A hypotonic solution is a solution that has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution. A solution cannot be hypotonic, isotonic or hypertonic without a solution for comparison. Hypotonic is a description of the solute content of one solution in relation to another solution. It is used in biology to help scientist describe cells. Knowing the osmolarity (concentration of a solution in number of solutes per liter) of different solutions can show scientists which way the water gradient and solute gradients will form.
OR
A hypotonic solution is any solution that has a lower osmotic pressure than another solution. In the biological fields, this generally refers to a solution that has less solute and more water than another solution.
