Question

An isotonic solution has the osmolarity (Osm) of (0.2-0.4 Osm)
a)True
b)False

Answer 1

An isotonic solution has the same osmolarity as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

An isotonic solution has the same osmolarity as the cell.

Osmolarity describes the total solute concentration of a solution. In an isotonic solution, the extracellular fluid has the same osmolarity as the cell, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of the cell.

For example, a red blood cell in an isotonic solution will maintain its normal volume and shape.
