Hypertonic. This is because the water has a higher concentration of solutes than the potato.

Is saline plus bicarbonate a isotonic or hypertonic solution?
Sterility doesn't imply an isotonic, hypotonic, or hypertonic state. Pure water though is hypotonic, when compared to blood.
Is 0.90 percent mv glucose isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
No,5percent glucose is an isotonic solution. 0.9 percent is for NaCl.
is water hypotonic?
yes it is hypotonic to normal water. for more info, see is distilled water hypotonic or hypertonic.
Is seawater hypertonic isotonic or hypotonic to drinking water?
Seawater contains salts as well as other minerals in its suspension, therefore it is hypertonic to drinking water.
What happens to cells placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions using diagrams?
In an isotonic solution the cell would be unchanged. In a hypertonic solution water would flow out of the cell and it would shrink. In a hypotonic solution water would flow into the cell and it would expand like a balloon and possibly rupture.
Is distilled water hypotonic to potato or hypertonic?
Distilled water is hypotonic to potato.

What are the 3 types of water concentrations seen in osmosis?
Hypertonic, hypotonic and isotonic.
Is water isotonic hypotonic or hypertonic?
Hypertonic solution is one which has higher osmotic concentration and less solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Hypotonic solution is one that possesses lower osmotic concentration and higher solvent concentration as compared to another solution. Isotonic solution is a solution that has same concentration, osmotic as well as solvent, as that of another solution . Pure water is hypotonic but water having salt is isotonic. So,water may be either isotonic or hypotonic

Is sodium chloride hypotonic?
A sodium chloride solution can be hypo-, hyper- or isotonic depending on the concentration.
What happent to a plant cell when placed in isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic solutions?
When placed in an isotonic solution nothin will happen to the cell, but when placed in a hypotonic solution the cell will implode (not explode, thus the water will push the cell on itself until implosion occurs.) Last but not least a hypertonic solution will cause the cell to explode by too much water entering the cell because there is already more water in the cell then in the solution. So the simple answer is: Isotonic solution= nothing, hypotonic solution= implosion, and hypertonic solution= explosion.
What is the isotonic solution of corn syrup to egg?
its hypertonic. if it were in water, it would be hypotonic.
What do isotonic hypotonic and hypertonic deal with?
A hypertonic solution is one containing more solute, a hypotonic solution contains more water, and an isotonic solution contains equal amounts of solute and water. Whether a solution is hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic can determine what happens to the cell. In a hypertonic solution, solute will diffuse into the cell down the concentration gradient. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell by osmosis down a water potential gradient, and in an isotonic solution nothing will happen because the concentration and water potential are the same both inside and outside the cell.
