Q. Can you define Isotonic and hypertonic solutions?.

Sagot :

An isotonic solution has an equal amount of water moving in and out of the cell.

A hypertonic solution are those in which more solute (and hence lower water potential) is present which means when a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution the liquid that is found in the cell will leave it and that means the cell will shrink and shrivel because it has no liquid in it.
