  • Hypertonic is when the water moves out of the cell
  • When the cell shrivels it is Plasmolysed
  • Osmosis is the movement of water in and out of the cell depending on the concentration
  • Hypertonic is when the water moves in
  • When the cell swells the cell is Turgid
  • Isotonic is when the moves moves in and out
  • When he cell stays the same it is Flaccid
  • Osmosis is a Passive Proccess
  • Does not require energy
  • Moves molecules down a concentration gradient
  • Moves substances (water) from a high to low concentration
  • Movement of WATER only
