Osmosis (6)
In hypertonic solutions, high outside solute concentration causes water to exit, shrinking the cell.

Osmosis (5)
In hypotonic solutions, lower outside solute concentration causes cell swelling and potential bursting due to osmosis.
Osmosis (4)
An isotonic solution has equal solute concentration on both sides, causing no water movement.

Osmosis (3)
Osmosis is the movement of water from low to high solute concentration until equilibrium.
Osmosis (2)
Osmosis transpires through a semi-permeable membrane, permitting solvent passage but restricting solute based on size and charge.

Osmosis (1)
Osmosis is the passive equalization of solute concentration across a selectively permeable membrane.
