Isotonic solution
Isotonic solution is the solution that have the solute concentration and water
concentration both inside and outside the cell are equal, therefore no gain
or loss of water.
Hypotonic solution
Solution that cause cell to swell or burst due to intake of water, the solution
has lower solute concentration compared to the cell. Is a cell is placed into
the hypotonic solution, the net movement of water is from outside into the
cell.
Cytolysis refer to disrupted cell
Haemolysis refer to disrupted red blood cell
The swelling of plant cell in hypotonic solution creates turgor pressure.
Turgor pressure are built up by the intake of water into the vacuole of plant
cell and pushed the plasma membrane against cell wall.
Hypertonic solution
Solution that cause cell to shrink due to loss of water, the solution have
higher solute concentration than the cell. Water leaves the cell when placed
in hypertonic solution.
Crenation is the process refers to red blood cell that shrink due to loss of
water into the surrounding
Plasmolysis refers to the process of plasma membrane of plant cell pulled
away from the cell wall as large central vacuole loses water.
