State
Calling a solution isotonic without naming which cell it compares to drops the reference point the term depends on.
Show
A solution isotonic to a red blood cell is not automatically isotonic to a plant cell, since their osmolarities differ.
Watch for
Tonicity has no meaning stated alone — it describes a relation between one solution and one cell's cytoplasm.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
