What is the opposite of isotonic?

The opposite of isotonic depends on the context, as "isotonic" can refer to different things:

1. In terms of solutions:

* Isotonic: A solution with the same osmotic pressure as another solution, typically referring to body fluids.

* Opposite: Hypertonic (higher osmotic pressure) or Hypotonic (lower osmotic pressure).

2. In terms of muscle contraction:

* Isotonic: A contraction where the muscle length changes while maintaining constant tension.

* Opposite: Isometric (muscle contracts but doesn't change length) or Eccentric (muscle lengthens while contracting).

To determine the true opposite, you need to specify the context in which "isotonic" is being used.
