Two solutions that have the same osmotic pressure at a given temperature are described as:
Ahypotonic solutions
Bisotonic solutions
Chypertonic solutions
Dsaturated solutions
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. isotonic solutions
1. Osmotic pressure is a colligative property depending on solute particle count.
2. Solutions with equal osmotic pressure are called isotonic; no osmosis occurs between them across a membrane.
3. Hypertonic and hypotonic refer to higher and lower concentrations relative to a cell, not equality.
