what is isotonic solution
Answers
Explanation:
An isotonic solution is one that has the same osmolarity, or solute concentration, as another solution. If these two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane, water will flow in equal parts out of each solution and into the other.
☛ If the medium surrounding the cell has exactly the same water concentration as the cell,there will be no net movement water across the cell membrane.This Solution is called isotonic Solution.
☛ In isotonic Solution water crosses the cell membrane in both directions.However,the amount of water going out due to which there is no overall movement of water.Hence,the cell placed in the isotonic Solution will retain the same size.
☛ Mesokaryotic cell :- Those types of cells that are intermediate between prokaryotic and Eukaryotic type of cell is called Mesokaryotic cell.
