Explanation:
What is Osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane.
Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.
Let us have a detailed look at the different types and effects of osmosis in detail.

Osmotic Solutions
There are three different types of solutions:
Isotonic Solution
Hypertonic Solution
Hypotonic Solution
An isotonic solution is one that has the same concentration of solutes both inside and outside the cell.
A hypertonic solution is one that has a higher solute concentration outside the cell than inside.
A hypotonic solution is the one that has a higher solute concentration inside the cell than outside.
