Definitions:

Hypertonic

Describes a solution that has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, causing cells to lose water.

Hypotonic

Describing a solution with a lower solute concentration compared to another solution, leading to water influx if two solutions are separated by a semipermeable membrane.

Isotonic

Describing a solution that has the same osmotic pressure as another solution, leading to no net movement of water across a cell membrane.

Differentially Permeable Membrane

A membrane that selectively allows certain substances to pass through it while keeping others out.
