Explain hypo hyper and isotonic solution

Answer»

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.
A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the OUTSIDE of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell.
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.
