Hypotinic Vs Isotonic Vs Hypertonic Flashcards
If a cell was put into a hypertonic solution what would happen
Water would move out of the cell causing it to shrivel up
If a cell was put into a hypotonic solution what would happen
The water would move into the cell making it swell
If a cell was put in isotonic solution what would happen
Nothing because it is equal
Ifthe cell is hypotonic what does it mean
There are less clmolecules within the cell
If the cell was hypertonic what would that mean
That there are more molecules within the cell
What is intracellular space
Within the cell
What is extracellular space
Outside of the cell
If the extracellular fluid is hypertonic what will happen
The water will move out of the cell
If the extracellular fluid is hypotonic what will happen
The fluid will move into the cell
If the intracellular fluid is hypertonic what will happen
The fluid will move into the cell
If the intracellular fluid Is hypotonic what will happen
The fluid will move out of the cell
What is osmosis
The movement of water across a semi permeable membrane to equalise solute concentration
Where is there a higher Sodium concentration
Outside the cell
Where is there a higher potassium concentration
Within the cell
What does the difference of sodium and potassium in concentration within and outside of the cell cause
Chemical gradient
