Osmosis Classwork

Putting a plant in this solution will result in water loss and cause the plant to wilt.

Hypertonic Solution

The cell will shrivel when placed in this type of solution.

Hypertonic Solution

The concentration of the solute in the solution is higher than the concentration inside the cell.

Hypertonic Solution

The concentration of the solute in the solution is lower than the concentration inside the cell.

Hypotonic Solution

When a cell is placed in this solution, water will enter the cell by osmosis causing it to swell.

Hypotonic Solution

Provide an example of a cell that is in a hypertonic solution. Label the amount of solute and water in the cell and out of the cell solution.

In a hypertonic solution, my cell would lose water and shrink. Inside my cell, there could be 70% water and 30% solute Outside my cell, there could be 30% water and 70 solute.

Provide an example of a cell that is in a hypotonic solution. Label the amount of solute and water in the cell and out of the cell solution.

In a hypotonic solution, my cell would gain water and swell or burst. Inside my cell, there could be 30% water and 70% solute Outside my cell, there could be 70% water and 30 solute.

Provide an example of a cell that is in an isotonic solution. Label the amount of solute and water in the cell and out of the cell solution.

In an isotonic solution, my cell would be in Homeostasis (not swell or shrink). Inside my cell, there could be 50% water and 50% solute Outside my cell, there could be 50% water and 50 solute.

The concentration of the solute in the solution is the same as the concentration inside the cell.

Isotonic Solution

When a cell is placed in this type of solution, there will be equal amounts of water moving in and out of the cell at equal rates.

Isotonic Solution

When this solution is injected into the body no cell disruption occurs because no net osmosis occurs..

Isotonic Solution

Osmosis is a type of _____ transport.

Passive.
