Why is an isotonic buffered extraction medium used initially to isolate the chloroplasts?

isotonic: to make sure the cells dont burst due to net flow of water into them that a hypertonic buffer can cause, or shrivel up, which a hypotonic buffer can cause.
buffered: to make sure the chloroplasts are kept at their physiological pH, which ensures that the key enzymes, proteins and other components of the cholorplasts retain their functionality.

Isotonic contractions. This happens when the muscle shortens as it contracts
Why is a sports drink used to extract the cheek cells?
its isotonic.
What does extraction buffer do?
The most likely function of the extraction buffer would be to maintain an isotonic environment that favors the stability of the protein. An isotonic solution mimics the ionic environment if the cell and therefore would keep the protein in a stable form during the process of extraction. Proteins undergo changes in different ionic environments (different pH's) and it is essential to keep them in a stable form.
What is the function of Phosphate Buffered Saline?
PBS (phosphate buffer saline) is used to maintain osmolarity of cells i.e. maintaining an isotonic environment. it is used to maintain pH of proteins at which its native structure could be maintained.

IS 5 dextrose in 0.9 saline isotonic?
.91 saline is normal saline which is isotonic. 5% dextrose is also isotonic. so the combination is still isotonic

Calculate the isotonic coefficient for NaCl if a 07M of NaCl solution equaled the hemolysis of14M glucose solution?
i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2 i = isotonic molar [glucose] / isotonic molar [NaCl] i = 14 M / 7 M = 2
