Examine the relationship between osmosis and tonicity. Discover how water potential influences cellular processes and supports osmoregulation in maintaining balance.

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 solute …

Hypertonic and hypotonic are not the same. If a cell is put into a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell. A quick tip to remembering this is to visualize “hyper” kids who want to go play outside! In …

Explore photosynthesis, the process of converting light energy into chemical energy in plants.

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 both relative solute …

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.

Syntax involves arranging words to create logical phrases, clauses, and sentences. This is a big topic, so we'll be covering a lot, including: dependent and independent clauses; simple, complex, …

Your notion of velocity is probably similar to its scientific definition. You know that a large displacement in a small amount of time means a large velocity and that velocity has units of distance divided by …

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.
