FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to a cell placed in a hypotonic solution?

Back

The cell will swell as water enters the cell.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

During osmosis, in which direction do water molecules move when a cell is in a hypertonic solution?

Back

Water molecules move out of the cell, causing the cell to shrink.

Define osmosis in the context of cell biology.

Back

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the difference between hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic solutions?

Back
