Osmosis

Description
Osmosis is the movement of water through a membrance from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. A, in hypotonic solution, the water moves into the cells, causing them to swell and burst.  B, In an isotonic solution, cells are normal in size and shape because the same amount of water is entering and leaving the cells.  C, In a hypertonic solution, cells are losing water because water moves from an area of lower concentration (inside the cell) to an area of higher concentration (outside the cell).
