1
New cards

concentration of the solute in the solution is lower than the concentration inside the cell.

hypotonic

2
New cards

when a cell is placed in this solution, water will enter the cell by osmosis causing it to swell.

hypotonic

3
New cards

concentration of the solute in the solution is the same as the concentration inside the cell.

isotonic

4
New cards

concentration of the solute in the solution is higher than the concentration inside the cell.

hypertonic

5
New cards

when this solution is injected into the body no cell disruption occurs because no net osmosis occurs.

isotonic

6
New cards

putting a plant in this solution will result in water loss and cause the plant to wilt.

hypertonic

7
New cards

cell will shrivel when placed in this type of solution.

hypertonic

8
New cards

when a cell is placed in this type of solution, there will be equal amounts of water moving in and out of the cell at equal rates.

isotonic
