Isotonic, Hypertonic, Hyportonic And Osmosis Flashcards
1
Q
What is Osmosis?
A
Osmosis is where only the water particles cross the permeable membrane from dilute solution to a concentrated solution.
2
Q
What is an isotonic solution?
A
Isotonic solution is when the concentration of the solution outside the cell is the same as the concentration of inside the cell.
3
Q
What is a hypertonic solution?
A
Hypertonic solution is when the concentration in the solution is higher than the concentration inside the cell.
4
Q
What is a hypotonic solution?
A
Hypotonic solution is when the concentration of the solution is lower than the inside the cell.
