Summary Introduction

To determine: The meaning of the statement “solution is hypotonic to cell”.

Introduction: Every organism present in the environment is composed of cell. The cell contains three major parts. These are “membrane, cytoplasm, and genetic material”. The cell immersed in solutions changes its volume. The hypotonic solutions bring extreme changes in cell size and volume.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The meaning of the statement “solution is hypertonic to the same cell”.

Introduction: There are two types of solutions. These are hypertonic solutions and hypotonic solutions. The solution in which the cell swells is called hypotonic solution. The solution in which the cell shrinks is known as hypertonic solutions.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The factor that detects the tonicity of a solution with respect to the cell.

Introduction: The change in the cell volume when a cell is immersed in a solution is known as the tonicity of a solution. The solutions are classified into two types on the basis of tonicity.
