Osmosis in depth Flashcards
1
Q
Hypertonic (High solute)
A
less water outside the cell, water must go out
2
Q
Hypotonic (Low solute)
A
More water outside the cell water must go in
3
Q
Isotonic
A
Same amount of concentration in and out of the cell
4
Q
Reverse osmosis
A
Movement of water through a semi- permeable membrane that moves water low to high concentration
5
