hypertonic hypotonic isotonic
__________than
inside the cell __________ than
inside the cell __________ to the
inside of the cell
______ of the cell ______ the cell both in and out at an
________ rate
the cell will ______ the cell will ____ ______
Hypertonic solutions have a higher solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to leave the cell (shrink). Hypotonic solutions have a lower solute concentration than inside the cell, causing water to enter the cell (swell). Isotonic solutions have the same solute - concentration as inside the cell, with water moving in and out at an equal rate and the cell maintaining its normal state.

Hypertonic: Higher solute concentration, water leaves, shrink
Hypotonic: Lower solute concentration, water enters, swell
Isotonic: Equal solute concentration, equal, maintain normal state
