Question
water movement from less concentrated to more concentrated solutions (d2.3.2)
water movement by osmosis into or out of cells (d2.3.3)
changes due to water movement in plant tissue bathed in hypotonic and those bathed in hypertonic solutions (d2.3.4)
outline the net movement of water for each type of solution
isotonic hypotonic hypertonic
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi - permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. In an isotonic solution, the solute concentration is the same inside and outside the cell, so there is no net movement of water. In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, so water moves into the cell. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, so water moves out of the cell.
