If placed in a hypotonic solution, a red blood cell will bloat up and may explode, while in a hypertonic solution, it will shrivel—making the cytoplasm dense and its contents concentrated—and may die.

In a hypotonic solution, water rushes into the cell causing it to expand or even burst. In an isotonic solution, there is no net flow of water, keeping the cell stable. In a hypertonic solution, water leaves …

Let's understand Hypotonic, Hypertonic and Isotonic solutions!

We have the solvent flowing from a hypotonic situation to a hypertonic solution, but it's only hypotonic in the solute. But water-- if you flip it the other way-- if you've used sugar as the solvent, then you could …

Hypertonic and hypotonic are not the same. If a cell is put into a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell. A quick tip to remembering this is to visualize “hyper” kids who want to go play outside! In …

This exercise helps students compare plasmolysis, osmosis, and imbibition by using short, realistic plant-cell scenarios. They identify how hypertonic vs. hypotonic solutions change turgor, how to …

Osmosis and tonicity. Hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions and their effect on cells.
