Osmosis Situation

Hypertonic, Isotonic, and Hypotonic solutions

Water moves to where…

there is more solute

Hypertonic

more material on the outside of the cell

When the cell is in a hypertonic solution, net water movement is…

out of the cell

Plasmolysis

When a cell shrinks due to being in a hypertonic solution

Plasmolysis is caused by

being in a hypertonic solution

Isotonic

Equal on the outside and inside of cell

into the cell

When in a hypotonic solution, cells…

swell
