how many types of osmosis? and describe them
Answers
Answer: The three types of osmotic conditions include- hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic.
Explanation:
Hypotonic solution
If an extracellular solution has less concentration of solute than that inside the cell, the solution is termed a hypotonic solution.
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the movement of water occurs into the cell resulting in endosmosis.
The cell is such a condition will swell up and might even burst.
Hypertonic solution
If an extracellular solution has more concentration of solute than that inside the cell, the solution is termed a hypertonic solution.
When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, the movement of water occurs out of the cell resulting in exosmosis.
The cell shrinks down, losing the ability to divide, and even function.
Isotonic solution
When an extracellular solution has the same concentration of solute as that inside the cell, the solution is termed an isotonic solution.
When a cell is placed in an isotonic solution, no movement of water occurs across the cell membrane.
In this case, the size of the cell is not influenced as no movement of water takes place.
