Detailed explanation-1: -Very simple explanation for osmosis is the concentration of water explanation-water in pure water is simply more concentrated than water in solutions because the solute has to take up some room in the solution.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is the most likely explanation for Wes’s observations? The red blood cells were placed into an isotonic solution. Water moved into and out of the cells to maintain homeostasis.
Detailed explanation-3: -Water will leave the cell, leading to equilibrium–at which time, water movement into and out of the cell is happening at the same rate.
Detailed explanation-4: -In hypotonic solutions, there is a net movement of water from the solution into the body. A cell placed into a hypotonic solution will swell and expand until it eventually burst through a process known as cytolysis.
