Question

What is osmotic solution?

Answer 1

Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which needs to be applied to a solution to prevent the inward flow of water across a semipermeable membrane.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Osmotic Solutions

There are three different types of solutions:

1. Isotonic Solution
2. Hypertonic Solution
3. 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.
