Detailed explanation-1: -In comparing two solutions of unequal solute concentration, the solution with the higher solute concentration is hypertonic, and the solution with the lower solute concentration is hypotonic.
Detailed explanation-2: -If the surrounding solution has a higher solute concentration compared to inside the cell, then it is called a hypertonic solution. Or if the surrounding solution has low solvent concentration compared to the inside of the cell, then it is hypertonic solution.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration compared to the intracellular solute concentration. When placing a red blood cell in any hypertonic solution, there will be a movement of free water out of the cell and into the solution.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hypertonic Solutions. Hypertonic solutions have a higher concentration of dissolved particles than blood. An example of hypertonic IV solution is 3% Normal Saline (3% NaCl).
Detailed explanation-5: -Hypotonic solution A solution is called hypotonic if its osmotic pressure is lower than that of the solution from which it is separated by a semipermeable membrane. A common example of a hypotonic solution is 0.45% normal saline (half normal saline).
