    Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration. An isotonic solution contains an equal concentration of solutes as the cell, causing water to move in and out of the cell in balance. A hypertonic solution contains a higher concentration of solutes than the cell, causing a net movement of water out of the cell. A hypotonic solution contains a lower concentration of solutes than the cell, causing a net movement of water into the cell. The document explains osmosis and the differences between hypotonic, isotonic, and hypertonic solutions.

    OSMOSIS

    Hypotonic vs. Hypertonic vs. Isotonic

    OSMOSIS

    The diffusion of water molecules


    from an area of high concentration
    to low concentration.

    = Normal Red Blood Cell

    Isotonic Solution
    = Water Molecule

    = Solute Molecule

    Definition:

    A solution that
    contains an equal
    concentration of
    solutes as the cell,
    causing water to move
    in and out of the cell.

    Definition:

    A solution that
    contains a higher
    concentration of
    solutes than the cell,
    causing a net
    movement of water
