Answer 1

A solution is made when a **solute** is mixed into a **solvent**. Osmosis is the movement of water particles through a membrane from an area of **low** concentration to an area of **high** concentration. If the concentration of water is higher outside the cell than inside the cell, the solution is called hypotonic. In this case, water would move **into the cell**. In a **hypertonic** solution, there is a higher concentration of water inside the cell than outside the cell and so water would move **out of the cell**. In an **isotonic** solution, water concentration is equal inside and outside the cell and the cell remains the same size. Osmosis is a form of **passive** transport.
