  • water is polar and can’t diffuse with polar molecules well

3
New cards

apply

The rules of diffusion ? to osmosis

4
New cards

Tonicity

Describes a solution compared to the other side of a membrane

  • if one side is more, the other is less (relative)

5
New cards

Hypertonic

High [concentration] / less water

  • shriveled / plasmolyzed

6
New cards

Isotonic

same [concentration]

  • normal / flacid

7
New cards

Hypotonic

lower [concentration] / more water

  • lysed / turgid / swolen
