1. Identify the direction of water movement in each scenario based on the concentration of solutes.
2. In a hypertonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is higher than inside, causing water to move out of the cell.
3. In a hypotonic solution, the solute concentration outside the cell is lower than inside, causing water to move into the cell.
4. In an isotonic solution, the solute concentrations are equal inside and outside the cell, so there is no net movement of water.
5. Determine the type of solution for each diagram by comparing the solute concentrations.
6. Label each diagram as hypertonic, hypotonic, or isotonic based on the water movement and solute concentration.
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of facilitated diffusion worksheet.
