Question

What is Isotonic,Hypotonic and Hypertonic solutions and what happen when a cell is put in these solutions?

Answer 1

Hey friend!
____________

Here is your answer
____________________

# Hypotonic solution:

<> A hypotonic solution has less solute and more water than the other solution.
<> The cell swells up. This is because the cell surrounding has more water content and thus it is very dilute, so the water enters the cell. 

# Isotonic solution:

<> An isotonic solution has same amount of water and solute as the other solution.
<> The plant cell does not show any change. This is because the nature of content in the cell and surrounding the cell is the same.

# Hypertonic solution:

<> A hypertonic solution has more solute than the other solution.
<> The plant cell shrinks in size. This is because, the content in the cell is concentrated than the surrounding, so it comes out of the cell through diffusion.

Answer 2

Hi friend,

There are three types of solutions-

•Hypotonic Solution
•Hypertonic Solution
•Isotonic Solution

Let's get a brief view on them-

• Hypotonic solution is a solution which high concentration of water in the surrounding of cell than in cell. Means that the outside solution is very dilute and as the water moves from high concentration to low concentration, the water will move in the cell from its surroundings, and thus the cell will swell up.

•Hypertonic solution is a solution where the concentration of water inside the cell is higher than outside the cell. So the water will move out from the cell and the cell will shrink.

•Isotonic solution is a solution where the water concentration is equal ie- water concentration is same as in the cell and out the cell. So the cell will neither swell up nor will shrink , as the water will not move out or in. So the cell will remain of same size.

That's all!!
