Answer:Isotonic solutions have the same water concentration on both sides of the cell membrane. Blood is isotonic. ... If you place an animal or a plant cell in a hypertonic solution, the cell shrinks, because it loses water ( water moves from a higher concentration inside the cell to a lower concentration outside ).

Blood is isotonic to cells in order to conserve the shape and structure of the surrounding cells.

  • Isotonic solutions are solutions that have the same concentration of water on both sides of a cell membrane.

  • In this case, the blood is an aqueous fluid that exhibits isotonic properties compared to its surrounding cells.

  • Isotonicity enables the blood to transport oxygen and nutrients to the cells but simultaneously conserves the structure and form of these cells.

In conclusion, blood is isotonic to cells in order to conserve the shape and structure of the surrounding cells.
