Hypertonic
A solution with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution.
Hypotonic
A solution with a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
Isotonic
Two solutions with equal solute concentrations, resulting in no net movement of water.
Osmosis
Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.
Solute concentration
Solute concentration refers to the amount of solute (a substance dissolved) present in a given quantity of solvent (a liquid in which the solute is dissolved) or solution.
