Front

What is the difference between diffusion and osmosis?

Back

Diffusion is the movement of solutes, while osmosis is the movement of water.

Front

What is a hypertonic solution?

Back

A solution with a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution.

Front

What occurs to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The cell loses water and shrinks.

Front

Define isotonic solution.

Back

A solution where the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell.
