New cards

Hypertonic

A solution that has a higher solute concentration compared to another solution.

3
New cards

Hypotonic

A solution that has a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.

4
New cards

Isotonic

A solution that has equal solute concentration compared to another solution.

5
New cards

Solute

A substance that is dissolved in a solvent, such as salt or sugar in water.

New cards

Solvent

A substance in which solute is dissolved, commonly water.

7
New cards

Turgor Pressure

The pressure of water inside the plant cell against the cell wall, critical for maintaining structural integrity.

8
New cards

Pressure Potential

The potential energy generated by the pressure exerted by water in a solution.

9
New cards

Water Potential

The potential energy of water in a system, calculated as the sum of solute potential and pressure potential.
