Tonicity
Definition
Deals with concentration
Term
Isotonic
Definition
equal concentration
Term
hypotonic
Definition
larger concentration inside cell than outside of cell.
If a cell is placed into a hypotonic solution, the water will flow into the cell causing it to swell and possibly lyse
Term
hypertonic
Definition
larger concentration outside cell than inside cell
If a cell is placed into a hypertonic solution, the water will flow out of the cell causing it to crenate
Term
Crenation
Definition
hypertonic
shrivels
Term
hemolysis
Definition
hypotonic
swells and explodes
