Question
in which kind of solution is the concentration of solutes the same inside and outside of the cell?
isotonic
hypertonic
hypotonic
concentrated
In an isotonic solution, the solute concentration is equal inside and outside the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside is higher. In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside is lower. A concentrated solution generally implies a high - solute concentration relative to a reference, but not necessarily equal to the cell's internal concentration.
