I believe that Sprite is actually a hypotonic solution. At first, I believed that it was hypertonic until I conducted an experiment in my Biology class in which grapes were exposed to Sprite and White Grape Juice. The grapes in the White Grape Juice showed to be somewhat isotonic and each grape in Sprite had a visible increase in mass. This was weighed with the same scale and materials were the same. I did three trials and all trials displayed a hypotonic result from Sprite, thus my hypothesis which was that the grapes in Sprite would shrivel up and decrease in mass because Sprite is a hypertonic solution, was not supported by my data. Although the trials were few in number, the end result for each one appeared the same. Therefore, I can conclude that Sprite is in fact a hypotonic solution instead of a hypertonic solution as I had first thought.

What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
hypertonic solution
What kind of solution occurs in your mouth when you eat something with salt?
hypertonic solution
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
If a cell is dropped in any solution and the cell does not change size by either shrinking or swelling what is the solution?
isotonic
How would you use hypertonic in a sentence?
Hypertonic means increased pressure or tone. This solution is hypertonic compared to that one.

Is TPN a hypertonic solution?
hypertonic
What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?

A cell is dropped into a solution and the cell swells the solution is?
hypertonic hypertonic
What kind of solution occurs in your mouth when you eat something with salt?
hypertonic solution
What is hypertonic and solution and hypertonic solution mean?
a solution that has a higher osmotic pressure than another solution to which it is compared
If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic solution?
"hypertonic"
Is regular non-diet pop a hypotonic or a hypertonic solution?
I am pretty sure it is a hypertonic solution.
What TPN solution should burn patients use?
Hypertonic dextrose solution
How are hypertonic solution and hypo tonic Solution related?
A hypertonic solution has the solute greater than the solvent, whereas a hypotonic solution is the reverse.
Explain why it is not enough just to say that a solution is hypertonic?
hypertonic and hypotonic are relative terms. A solution that is hypertonic to tap H2O could be hypotonic to seawater. In using these terms, you must provide a comparison, as in 'the solution is hypertonic to the cells cytoplasm'.
Does hypertonic shrink?
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
