What is a solution called when it has a lesser concentration of particles?
A solution with the same solute concentration as another (e.g. human body fluids) is called isotonic.
How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
When particles move from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration?
it is called transportation and this is part of the definition for "osmosis" - the tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. orrr basically it just means that there is more of that particle in the area of greater concentration than that of the lesser concentration. For example you might put 1cm cubed of black currant squash into one cup of water and this would be a weak or lesser concentration. However if you put 40cm cubed of black currant squash into a cup of water it is a higher concentration and therefore there are more of that particle in that solution. if you get what i mean :) happy to help if i did xxx
What is concerntration gradient?
As used in the process of diffusion, the concentration gradient is the graduated difference in concentration of a solute within a solution (as expressed per a unit distance). Molecules tend to move from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration. i.e. down the gradient.
What happens to a cell plant cell or animal cell when placed in following solution a hypotonic solution b isotonic solution c hypertonic solution?
When placed in an isotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is roughly equal to the that within cells), there is equal diffusion of water into and out of the cells. Therefore, the cells find this environment suitable. In a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is much more than that within cells) water diffuses into cells as a result of which the cells swell. Excessive swelling causes the cells to burst, a phenomenon called cell lysis In a hypertonic solution (i.e. a solution where the concentration of water molecules is lesser than that within cells) water moved out from within cells to the surrounding medium. As a result of this, cells shrink.

What is called when a solution has a lesser concentration of particles?
Hypotonic
A solution in which the concentration of dissolved substances is lower than the concentration inside a cell?
the answer to this question is : hypotonic solution
What is hypotenic?
the movement of particles from areas of greater concentration to area of lesser concentration.
A cell moves particles from a region of lesser concentration to a region of greater concentration by what?
The process in which particles move from high to low concentration is called diffusion .
How is a hypertonic solution different from a hypotonic solution?
Hypotonic solution has much less particles dissolved inside the solvent than there is in the cell floating in the mixture. A hypertonic solution has a greater concentration of particles dissolved in the solvent than inside the cell.
What is the movement of molecules from great concentration to lesser concentration?
The movement of molecules from great concentration to lesser concentration is called diffusion. However when dealing water molecules it is referred to as osmosis.
What is it called when things move from an area with greater concentration to lesser concentration?
Diffusion

Is a osmosis a diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
What is the difference between the hypotonic and hypertonic?
A hypertonic solution has more solutes than a cell, where the cell shrinks and possibly dies but a hypotonic solution, meanwhile, has less solutes than a cell where the cell expands and possibly bursts.
What is concerntration gradient?
As used in the process of diffusion, the concentration gradient is the graduated difference in concentration of a solute within a solution (as expressed per a unit distance). Molecules tend to move from areas of greater concentration to areas of lesser concentration. i.e. down the gradient.
