Concept explainers
To indicate: Whether 0.5% of salt concentration represents hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic environment for the bacterial cells.
Introduction: Tonicity indicates the relative solute concentration dissolved in solution, thereby determining the extent as well as the direction of diffusion. It is of three types, namely hypertonic, hypotonic, and isotonic.
To indicate: Whether 5% of salt concentration represents hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic environment for the bacterial cells.
To indicate: Whether 10% of salt concentration represents hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic environment for the bacterial cells.
To indicate: Whether 15% of salt concentration represents hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic environment for the bacterial cells.
