3 Types of Solutions Isotonic (iso = equal) Hypertonic (hyper = over) Hypotonic (hypo = under) Used to describe the external environment of a cell!
6
Isotonic Solutions Solution provides an environment in which the concentration of solutes outside the cell equals the concentration inside. Cell will stay the same size.
7
Hypertonic Solution The concentration of solutes is greater outside a cell is greater than the concentration inside. Causes water in the cell to diffuse out! Cell shrinks.
8
Hypotonic Solution The concentration of solutes outside the cell is less than the concentration inside the cell. Causes water to diffuse into the cell. Cell gets larger!
