Part 3. Osmosis and Movement of Water in Living Organisms (video link)


11. What does it mean if a solution is hypertonic? __________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
12. Isotonic? ___________________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________
13. Hypotonic? _________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________
____________________________________________________________________________

Cells placed in a Cells placed in a hypotonic


hypertonic solution in a solution in a beaker will
beaker will shrink as water swell as water moves into
moves out of the cell trying the cell trying to make %s
to make %s equal on both equal on both sides of the
sides of the membrane membrane.
14. Let’s practice! Which direction with the water flow? (1) Use arrows to show it for the cells (ovals) in the
beakers below. Where there is a blank space for the % H2O or solute, fill in that number before moving on.
The % H2O and % solute should equal 100 for any solution.

16. What conclusion(s) can you draw about osmosis and homeostasis in the body? Think about when you eat
too much salt in your diet…. What happens? _____________________________________________
