Study Notes
Diffusion
- Particles in a solution move from a higher concentration area to a lower concentration area.
Osmosis
- Movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane.
Tonicity
- Hypertonic: A solution with a higher solute concentration compared to another solution.
- Hypotonic: A solution with a lower solute concentration compared to another solution.
- Isotonic: A solution with the same solute concentration as another solution.
