🗑
osmosis   movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane from higher concentration to lower concentration  
🗑
osmotic pressure   ability to generate enough pressure to lift a volume of water  
🗑
hypertonic solution   solute ions more concentrated outside cell membrane: water moves inside to outside  
🗑
hypotonic solution   solute ions more concentrated inside cell membrane: water moves outside to inside  
🗑
isotonic solution   solute ions equally concentrated outside and inside:no net movement of water  
🗑
