For hypotonic solution, it means that the solution has lower concentration of solutes (salt, sugar etc) than inside the cell. If it is an animal cell, water will move from the hypotonic solution to inside the cell and the cell will swell and burst open. This is called cytolysis. For the plant cell, water will enter the cell and the cell wall enables the plant cell to swell and become turgid without bursting.
For hypertonic solution, it's actually the opposite of hypotonic solution.It actually means that the solution has higher concentration of solutes than inside the cell. For the animal cell, water leaves the cell through osmosis and it will shrink and tiny spikes appear on the cell membrane. This is called crenation. For the plant cell, its cytoplasm shrinks away from the cell wall. This is called plasmolysis.
Last but not least, the isotonic solution! This means that the concentration of solutes in the solution is equal to the conc of solutes inside the cell. The result: water moves equally in both direction and cell remains the same size. That's called dynamic equilibrium!
What else can I help you with?
What organelle in the plant cell is known as osmosis?
The vacuole is the organelle in a plant cell that is involved in osmosis. It helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell by regulating the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell through osmosis.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
osmosis
In which organelle does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.
What does osmosis have to do with cell walls?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, like a cell wall. Cell walls in plant cells are semi-permeable, allowing water to move in and out of the cell through osmosis to help maintain the cell's turgor pressure and overall structure.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Is movement of alcohol through cell membrane osmosis?
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
What organelle in the plant cell is known as osmosis?
The vacuole is the organelle in a plant cell that is involved in osmosis. It helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell by regulating the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell through osmosis.
What is the passage of water through cell membrane?
osmosis
Why do plants manage to attract more water in osmosis?
Osmosis the transfer of water through the cell. So when in osmosis the cell needs more water.
How does osmosis and diffusion limit the size of a cell?
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
How do you use osmosis in a sentence?
osmosis involves water passing in and out of the cell
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
osmosis
How can water be driven to move into and out of the Cell through the Cell membrane?
Through the process of Osmosis and, alternately, reverse Osmosis.
In which organelle does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.
What are the cell membrane and water both involved in?
The cell membrane and water are both involved in "Osmosis" the making of Chloroplasts.
