    They are all different types of solutions.

    hypotonic: a solution which contains more solute than solvent

    hypertonic: a solution which contains more solvent than solute

    isotonic: a solution in which the solute and solvent are equally distributed--a cell normally wants to remain in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of the liquid inside of it equals the concentration of the liquid outside of it

    They are all different types of solutions:

    hypotonic: a solution which contains more solute than solvent (example: a lot of salt (solute) dissolved in water (solvent))

    hypertonic: a solution which contains more solvent than solute (example: purified water--there's almost no solute dissolved in the solvent (water))

    isotonic: a solution in which the solute and solvent are equally distributed--a cell normally wants to remain in an isotonic solution, where the concentration of the liquid inside of it equals the concentration of the liquid outside of it
