The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is a bit different from osmolarity because it takes into account …

Take your cellular knowledge to the next level! From organelles to membrane transport, this unit covers the facts you need to know about cells - the tiny building blocks of life.

The ability of a solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is a bit different from osmolarity because it takes into account both relative …

We said that's kind of how we think of tonicity, one of those three groups usually. Very broadly speaking, these terms, these four terms are really a way to define or describe one solution.

In osmosis, water moves from areas of low concentration of solute to areas of high concentration of solute. But wait! Didn’t we say that osmosis is a passive process? It is! Water does still …

Test your knowledge on the processes of diffusion, osmosis, and tonicity!

Tonicity refers to the relative concentrations of solutes between a cell and its surrounding solution. The terms are often used interchangeably, but there is a subtle difference between them.

Osmosis and tonicity. Hypertonic, isotonic, and hypotonic solutions and their effect on cells.

Osmosis is a process where water molecules move from an area of low solute concentration to high solute concentration through a semipermeable membrane. This movement can be …

Find out how tonicity is determined by ions that don't move across membranes and how it affects the movement of water. Rishi is a pediatric infectious disease physician and works at Khan …
