Isotonic to the cell would cause no visual changes as the rate of water entering the cell is equal to the water exiting the cell. Hypotonic to the cell would cause the cell to shrink, as water exits the cell to dilute the higher solute concentration outside the cell. Hypertonic to the cell would cause the cell to swell, as water enters the cell to dilute the higher solute concentration inside the cell.
What is isotonic solution?
Solutions that contain the same concentration of water and solutes as the cell cytoplasm are called isotonic solutions. Cells placed in an isotonic solution will neither shrink nor swell since there is no net gain or loss of water.
What is hypotonic solution?
" A solution that contains fewer dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood".
What is hypertonic solution ?
"A solution that contains more dissolved particles (such as salt and other electrolytes) than is found in normal cells and blood".
