difference between Hypotonic and Hypertonic? And easy ways to remember the differences?
hold on k
sure
ok here is the first one
The prefix “hypo” means deficient. A hypotonic solution will have a lower concentration of solutes than the cell. The cell will also have a higher osmotic pressure — the tendency for water to move into a cell by osmosis — than the solution surrounding it. This will cause fluid to move into the cell.
Ok, thanks! :)
then here is the second one k
Hyper” means too much. A hypertonic solution will have a higher concentration of solutes than the cell and will have a higher osmotic pressure outside the cell than inside the cell. This will cause the water to be pulled from the cell, which results in the cell’s attempt to equalize osmotic pressure. The cell will crenate — shrink.
Ok, this helps a lot. Thanks.
np glad to help :)
How about Solute and Solvent? What's the difference?
ok hold on k
ok heres the first one
A solute is the substance being dissolved in a mixture or solution. In both chemical and non-chemical settings, a solute may be called a substance.
heres the second one
A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute in the formation of a solution, and any solvent other than water is considered a non-aqueous solvent. Some common examples include ether, alcohol, benzene, disulphide, carbon tetrachloride and acetone. While water is a useful solvent for investigating acid-base properties, the differences between water and other solvents mean that non-aqueous solvents often provide more realistic experimental outcomes.
ill brb
kay?
ok im back sorry i was getting nachos
well did i help?
yeah. thanks.
anymore?
not yet genius.
hehe ok lol
