Campbell · Answer 1

True

Explanation:

A 5% urea solution is hypotonic or has a lower osmotic pressure than a 10% urea solution because the concentration of the 10% urea solution is higher than that of 5%.

Sidney Pitts · Answer 2

Answer: True.

5%urea is hypotonic to 10% urea.

Explanation:

Hypotonic solution is a solution in which solutes concentration is higher in the Cell than it outside. It has lower osmotic pressure than other solution. 5% urea is hypotonic to 10% urea I. e it has higher solutes concentration.
