MCQ
If two solution have the same osmolarity, they are said to be:
A
Hypertonic.
B
Hypotonic.
✓
Isotonic.
D
None of the above.
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Isotonic.
Isotonic means two solutions having the same osmolarity. It allows the free movement of water across the membrane without changing the solute concentration. Hypotonic surrounding solution means a solution with less osmolarity. This means that concentration of solutes is less in the surrounding medium, than the concentration of solutes in cell sap and hypertonic surrounding solution means the concentration of solutes is more than the concentration of solutes in the cell sap.
