Question

What is the effect of hypotonic isotonic hypertonic on the cell?

Answer 1

The effects of hypotonic, hypertonic and isotonic. 1. ... Solution which contain higher concentration of water and lower concentration of solutes is called as hypotonic solution. • Since the concentration of water is higher outside the cell, there is a net movement of water from outside into the cell.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution: It is a solution with low solute and high solvent.This solution causes endo osmosis causing the cell to swell up.

Hypertonic solution: It is a solution with high solute and low solvent.This solution causes exo osmosis causing the cell to shrink or get crenated.

Isotonic solution: It is a solution with neutral solute and solvent. This solution doesn't cause any change to the cell and the cell remains the same.
