Question

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. The term tonicity refers to the water concentration of a solution. The prefix iso means equal, the prefix hyper means high and the prefix hypo means low. A hypertonic solution will have a(n) higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution. A hypotonic solution will have a(n) lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution. An isotonic solution will have a(n) equal concentration of solutes compared to another solution. An animal cell placed in a hypertonic solution will shrink, also known as crenation. A plant cell placed in a hypertonic solution will be turgid. An animal cell placed in a hypotonic solution will swell, possibly lyse. A plant cell placed in a hypotonic solution will become dehydrated. Plant and animal cells placed in an isotonic solution will both stay normal size.
