Isotonic literally translates to "equal tension." It means that two substances have the same concentration of a solute.
adjective Physiology 1 (of muscle action) taking place with normal contraction. 2 denoting or relating to a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution, esp. one in a cell or a body fluid. • (of a drink) containing essential salts and minerals in the same concentration as in the body and intended to replace those lost as a result of sweating during vigorous exercise.
It is considered isotonic in relation to another solutionwhen its water potential is equal. Therefore there should be no net movement of water (osmosis) if a partially permeable membrane is placed between the solutions.
The concentration of solutes is the same inside and outside the cell. So stuff will pass throught the cell and exit in equal quantity.
These two solutions have identical osmotic pressure.
Isotonic
isotonic solution
Isotonic solutions have equal amounts of solute and solvent which means that the solution is 50% solute and 50% solvent. Solutions which have more or less solute are called hypotonic and hypertonic.
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
isotonic solution comprise non-penetrating solute and they are solution having the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround. they are neither absorbed or do they absorb anything from the cell.Iso-osmotic solutions are comprise penetrating and non-penetrating solutes .although they have the same osmotic pressure as the cell they surround ,they comprise penetrating solute ,which can enter the cell and increase the cell's osmotic pressure .increasing the cell's osmotic pressure,make the cell prone to absorb water from the medium in order to equalize the osmotic pressure on both sides,and this cause bursting of the cell.
When two solutions are isotonic it means that they have an equal amount of solute concentration. This state is referred to as dynamic equilibrium.
Two isotonic solutions are two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure. This term is generally used referring to solutions in a cell or body fluid.
isotonic or isoosmotic
The two solutions are then the same strength.
Isotonic
Solutions having the same osmotic pressures are called isotonic solutions
isotonic solution
isotonic solution, equilibrium
A term applied when two solutions have identical concentrations of of solute molecules and hence the same osmotic pressure, or isotonic pressure.
this is because isotonic solutions are fluids that contains the same concentration of solutes as plasma in human..(*_*) that's what i think..._pinkay
isotonic
yes it is isotonic solution.
