A CONCENTRATION GRADIENT
is the difference of dissolved
SOLUTES present on either
side of a cell membrane.
QUESTION:

following situations:
• ISOTONIC: concentration is
the same so cell does not
change size.
• HYPOTONIC: solute
concentration is lower in
solution than the cell, water
moves in and cell SWELLS.
• HYPERTONIC: solute
concentration is higher in
solution than the cell, water
leaves the cell and cell
SHRINKS.
