Chapter 5 (Campbell's Biology in Focus)
- ==Isotonic environment== - conditions are the same inside and outside of the cell
- ==Hypertonic== - a solution that is more concentrated
- ==Hypotonic== - a solution that is less concentrate
- In hypertonic or hypotonic environments, however, organisms that lack rigid cell walls must have other adaptations for ==osmoregulation==
- Osmoregulation is the control of solute concentrations and water balance
- Check your notes for more on Water potential, Solute Potential and Pressure Potential
