TONICITY

Cards (22)

  • In this type of solution, there is no net movement of water.
    Isotonic
  • In this type of solution, there is equal solute outside and equal solvent inside.
    Isotonic
  • This type of solution has an equal salt concentration.
    Isotonic
  • In this type of solution, there is higher solute inside and higher solvent outside.
    Hypotonic
  • This type of solution is much more watery.
    Hypotonic
  • In this type of solution, cell neither grows nor shrinks and is much more likely to survive.
    Isotonic
  • This type of passive transport can only function in a liquid medium.
    Osmosis
  • This type of passive transport is a movement of solvent through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration.
    Osmosis
  • This type of passive transport can occur in all three mediums (solid, liquid, and gas).
    Diffusion
  • This type of passive transport is a movement of particles from higher to lower concentration. This process reaches equal concentration.
    Diffusion
  • In this type of solution, the cell grows in size.
    Hypotonic
  • In this type of solution, the cell will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis.
    Hypotonic
  • This type of solution has lower concentrated solution.
    Hypotonic
  • In this type of solution, there is higher solute outside and higher solvent inside.
    Hypertonic
  • In this type of solution, the water moves out from the cell.
    Hypertonic
  • In this type of solution, the water moves into the cell.
    Hypotonic
  • In this type of solution, the net movement of water will be outwards.
    Hypertonic
  • In this type of solution, the cell will shrink and will undergo plasmolysis -- the cell contraction.
    Hypertonic
  • This type of solution is much more salty.
    Hypertonic
  • This type of solution has higher concentration.
