Question

Please explain what hypertonic and hypotonic solutions are and the osmosis direction for each (into or out of cell)

Answer 1

A hypotonic solution is one in which the concentration of solutes is greater inside the cell than outside of it, and a hypertonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is greater outside the cell than inside it.

In Osmosis, direction is from Hypertonic to Hypotonic solution

Hope this helps!
