A) isotonic solution
B) hypertonic solution
C) hypotonic solution
D) saturated solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A 5.0% (m/v) glucose solution is considered isotonic with respect to cells because it has the same concentration of solutes as the cytoplasm of the cell. This means that there will be no net movement of water into or out of the cell, resulting in no osmotic pressure.
