Isotonic Isotonic solution: Solute concentration is the solution: Solute concentration is the same as that inside the cell (no movement)same as that inside the cell (no movement)
Hypertonic Hypertonic solution: Solute concentration is solution: Solute concentration is greater than that inside the cell; cell loses watergreater than that inside the cell; cell loses water
