The weaker solution (here, 5%) is hypotonic. The stronger is hypertonic.
"Hypo-" means "below". A hypodermic needle goes below the skin.
"Hyper-" means "above". A hyperactive child is above average (in activity!).
They diffuse into one another until the point where they reach equilibrium. This point, however cannot be predicted from what you gave nor is it any more likely to be in favor of the hypertonic, the hypotonic, or your idea of isotonic.
The nucleus as a whole is not separated from the cytoplasm, which surrounds it. However, the contents of the nucleus (DNA and assorted proteins) is separated from the cytoplasm by the nuclear membrane (a.k.a the nuclear envelope), which is the outer portion of the nucleus.
Osmosis.
A large glucose molecule requires facilitated diffusion but an oxygen molecule does not is a semipermeable membrane.
A hypertonic environment contains a higher concentration solutes then do the interior of the cell. This causes the water within the cell to move through the membrane and makes the cell shrink. A hypotonic solution has the opposite effect. The cell will swell and even explode (lysis).

from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
Water moves into a membrane-bound hypotonic vesicle through the process of osmosis. In a hypotonic solution, the concentration of solutes outside the vesicle is lower than inside, causing water to flow into the vesicle to balance the concentration gradient.
That depends entirely on what solution it is in. Hypotonic and hypertonic are relative terms to compare to solutions usually serperated by a seme-permeable membrane.
Boiling ruptures the cell membrane of raisins, preventing osmosis from taking place as the cell membrane is necessary for the process. In a hypertonic solution, the raisins would not absorb water due to the damaged cell membrane. In a hypotonic solution, they would not release water as the cell membrane cannot regulate the movement of water.
In osmosis, water will move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, across a semipermeable membrane. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
The word 'dilute' is an inexact term. Hypotonic (less solute) and hypertonic (more solute) and isotonic (the same amount) are relative terms. What they mean is that a solution will either have less, more, or the same concentration of a given solute than the reference substance. It is important in cells because a hypertonic solution (such as salt water) will try to pull free water out of the cell, where the concentration of salt is less. A hypotonic solution will cause water to soak into the cells. Either situation may be undesirable. For osmosis, water will flow across a semipermeable membrane in the direction of the pressure gradient. It will always flow from the hypotonic solution into the hypertonic solution. Plants absorb water by creating a hypertonic state inside the root.
hypotonic is the world for a lower concentration of solutes. it just depends on what side of the membrane you are referring to. whatever side has more solutes = hyper, whatever side has less = hypo.
Diffusion between hypo/hypertonic substances across a semipermeable membrane. AKA: The water from the vinegar fills the egg
Tonicity best fits the single word you are looking for. One side is hypertonic and the other will be hypotonic.
