Cellular Transport - part 2

 When a cell is in a solution that has the same concentration of water and solutes, as its cytoplasm, the cell is said to be in a what?

• hypertonic solution

• hypotonic solution

• isotonic solution

 Iso comes from the Greek word meaning what?

In this type of solution, water enters and leaves the cell at the same rate.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

 In this solution, the cell is to be in equilibrium.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

 Most cells in organisms are in this kind of solution.

• hyperonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

 A cell in a solution that has a lower concentration of solute is said to be in a what?

• hypertonic solution

• hypotonic solution

• isotonic solution

 Hypo comes from the Greek word meaning what?

In this type of solution, there is more water outside the cell than inside.

• hypertonic

• hypotonic

• isotonic

What is the name for pressure generated as water flows through the plasma membrane?

This is a solution when the concentration of the solute outside of the cell is higher than it is inside the cell.
