|
Diffusion - |
movement of substances from areas of high concentration to low |
|
|
Osmosis - |
Movement of molecules of a solvent from a region of low concentration to a region of high concentration or movement of water from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a semi-permeable membrane Movement of molecules of a solvent takes place until an equilbrium state is attained |
|
|
Equilibrium |
when molecules are spread out evenly |
|
|
Isotonic - |
concentration of solution is equal to that of the cell
No net movement of molecules of a solvent takes place now |
|
|
Hypertonic - |
concentration of solution is greater to that of the cell, water leaves cell, cell shrinks
|
