osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane to an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. match the three different types of osmotic solutions: hypotonic, hypertonic, and isotonic.
the cell has too little water inside and shrivels choose
the cell has too much water inside and swells & bursts choose
the cell has a balanced amount of water inside and out & is healthy choose
In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell causing it to shrivel as there is less water inside. In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell and burst due to excess water. In an isotonic solution, there is a balanced movement of water in and out of the cell, keeping it healthy.
