Hypertonic Solution
A solution in which the concentration of solute outside the cell is greater than the concentration of solute inside the cell.
2
New cards
Hypotonic Solution
A solution in which the concentration of solute outside the cell is less than the concentration of solute inside the cell.
3
New cards
Isotonic Solution
A solution in which the concentration of solute outside the cell is equal to the concentration of solute inside the cell.
