Tonicity: Directions for Experiment and Lab
Introduction Hypertonic solutions have higher solute concentrations. In contrast, hypotonic solutions have lower solute concentrations. The solutions are isotonic when their concentrations match. Although simple, these terms are crucial to understanding osmosis. Across a semi-permeable membrane, osmosis transfers water from high to low concentrations. Different solute concentrations on opposite sides of the membrane cause this ... Read More
