# Biology Terms This document defines several terms related to solutions and their properties, particularly in biological contexts, like within blood cells. * **Hydrates:** Substances that contain water in their crystal structures. * **Hygroscopic:** A property of a substance that readily absorbs water vapor from the air. * **Hypertonic Solution:** A solution whose osmolarity (and consequently, osmotic pressure) is higher than that of red blood cells. * **Hypotonic Solution:** A solution whose osmolarity (and consequently, osmotic pressure) is lower than that of red blood cells. * **Immiscible:** Liquids that do not mix. * **Isotonic:** Two solutions with the same osmolarity. * **Isotonic Solution:** A solution that has the same salt concentration as cells and blood. * **Miscible:** Liquids that mix in all proportions.
