Osmosis occurs in living organisms as water moves across the cellular membrane. An environment is hypertonic when the concentration of solutes in the environment is greater than the concentration of solutes inside the cell.
In hypertonic environments, water flows
from the nuclear membrane into the cell membrane
from the cell into the environment
inside and outside the cell at equal rates
from the environment into the cell
