A solution with the same salt concentration as cells is said to be:
A)hypertonic
B)hypotonic
C)isotonic
D)ginantonic

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An isotonic solution has the same salt concentration as the cells, which means there is no net movement of water in or out of the cell. This is the ideal balance for cell function and prevents dehydration or bursting of the cell. A hypertonic solution has a higher salt concentration than the cell and would cause water to move out of the cell, leading to dehydration. A hypotonic solution has a lower salt concentration than the cell and would cause water to move into the cell, potentially leading to cell bursting. Ginantonic is not a scientific term and is not a valid answer choice.
