Solutions having osmotic pressures more than those of body fluids are called
A) isosmotic.
B) hyperosmotic.
C) hyposmotic.
D) neosmotic.
E) magnosmotic.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperosmotic solutions have higher osmotic pressure than that of body fluids. Isosmotic solutions have the same osmotic pressure, while hyposmotic solutions have a lower osmotic pressure than that of body fluids. Neosmotic and magnosmotic are not valid terms used to describe solutions based on their osmotic pressures.
