What are hypertonic solutions? What are some examples?
Can you tell me what hypertonic solutions are and give me some examples?
Sure! A hypertonic solution is a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution. This causes water to move out of the other solution and into the hypertonic solution, which results in cell dehydration. One example of a hypertonic solution is saltwater. When saltwater is applied to a plant, it causes the plant to lose water and ultimately wilt.
