Isotonic Solution

A solution with the same solute concentration as the cells it contains
Real World Example
Imagine trying to balance the amount of air in your car tires so that they match the pressure recommended by the manufacturer. Just like how your car tires need the right air pressure to ensure smooth driving, an isotonic solution has the same solute concentration as the cells it contains, ensuring that cells maintain their shape and function. In this analogy, the air pressure in your tires represents the solute concentration, while the recommended pressure by the manufacturer is akin to the ideal solute concentration within the cells, both needing to match to maintain optimal performance.
