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.

No, Sprite is not a hypertonic solution. A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to the solution it is compared to. Sprite is a sugary drink that is typically isotonic, meaning it has a similar concentration of solutes to that of the body's cells.

What refers to a solution with more molecules outside the cell than inside the cell?
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.
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
A solution containing a higher concentration of dissolved substances than the cell is termed?
There are two types of solutions categorized by solute concentration. If the solution has a higher saline concentration than the erythrocytes (red blood cells) it is said to be hypertonic. If the opposite is true the solution is then hypotonic.
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of the what?
Hypotonic and hypertonic describe the concentration of solutes in a solution compared to another solution. In a hypotonic solution, there is a lower concentration of solutes than in the other solution, while in a hypertonic solution, there is a higher concentration of solutes.
Is sprite is solution?

If an animal cell shrinks it was probably placed in a . hypotonic solution hypertonic solution isotonic 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 is hypertonic and solution and hypertonic solution mean?
a solution that has a higher osmotic pressure than another solution to which it is compared
A solution that is higher in concentration than living cells is called?
HEPERTONIC IS MORE CONCENTRARED FOR MOR DETAILS VISIT OUR WEBSITE VAMSIMEHER.ONLINE
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.
Does hypertonic shrink?
A hypertonic solution does shrink. It is when the osmotic pressure is greater than the solution that is within it.
Is a hypertonic solution is one with low solute concentration?
No, a hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell, causing it to shrink or crenate.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cells into the hypertonic solution, causing the cells to shrink and become dehydrated.
