Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is a hypertonic solution?
A
A solution more dilute than inside the cell
B
A solution more concentrated than inside the cell
C
A solution with the same concentration as in the cell
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A hypertonic solution is any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids. In a hypertonic solution, the net movement of water will be out of the body and into the solution.

Detailed explanation-2: -A hypertonic solution is a particular type of solution that has a greater concentration of solutes on the outside of a cell when compared with the inside of a cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -(i) Hypertonic solution: A solution having a higher concentration of solute outside as compared to outside the cell is called hypertonic solution.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Hypotonic has a lower concentration of fluid, sugars and salt than blood. Hypertonic has a higher concentration of fluid, sugars and salt than blood.
