Driven by differences in solute concentration, the net movement of water out of or into a cell produces a force known as osmotic pressure. What does "isotonic" mean? Which way will water flow? What does "hypertonic" mean? Which way will water flow? What will happen to the cell? What does "hypo...
Driven by differences in solute concentration, the net movement of water out of or into a cell produces a force known as osmotic pressure. What does "isotonic" mean? Which way will water flow? What does "hypertonic" mean? Which way will water flow? What will happen to the cell? What does "hypotonic" mean? Which way will water flow? What will happen to the cell? Explain the differences between plant and animal cells placed in a hypotonic solution. What is the importance of the Cell Wall in plant cells that are placed in a hypotonic solution.
