Question

drag and match
match each term with its definition.
osmotic pressure
isotonic
hydrostatic pressure
hypotonic
hypertonic
answer
a solution that has more solutes than the cell
the force that solutes have to attract to water
the force of a liquid pushing against something
a solution containing the same concentration of solutes as the cell
a solution that has fewer solutes than the cell
i dont know yet

Explanation:

1. Osmotic pressure: Defined as the force solutes exert to attract water (relates to osmosis and solute - water attraction).
2. Isotonic: A solution with the same solute concentration as the cell (equal solute concentration inside and outside the cell).
3. Hydrostatic pressure: The force of a liquid pushing against a surface (e.g., blood pressure is a type of hydrostatic pressure).
4. Hypotonic: A solution with fewer solutes than the cell (so water moves into the cell).
5. Hypertonic: A solution with more solutes than the cell (so water moves out of the cell).

Answer:

• Osmotic pressure: The force that solutes have to attract to water
• Isotonic: A solution containing the same concentration of solutes as the cell
• Hydrostatic pressure: The force of a liquid pushing against something
• Hypotonic: A solution that has fewer solutes than the cell
• Hypertonic: A solution that has more solutes than the cell
