New cards

what is osmosis

the net movement of water particles from an area of higher water potential to an area of lower water potential down a water potential gradient

2
New cards

osmosis facts

can occur through channel proteins or by diffusion or directly through a membrane

pure water has a water potential of 0

3
New cards

what is a hypertonic solution

have a lower water potential lower concentration of water than in the cell

less solution more solute

4
New cards

what is an isotonic solution

same water potential no net movement

5
New cards

hypotonic solution

higher water potential than the cell cytoplasm

less solute more solution
