... from the center of a cell to its surface almost as fast. There are two types of diffusion across the membrane barrier: OSMOSIS: It depends on concentration of solutes in an aqueous solution on the two sides seperated by a membrane. Solute concentration is related to osmotic pressure. Greater the solute concentration, greater the osmotic pressure, and greater the tendency to absorb water. Hyperosmotic ... Solution (hypertonic): A solution with a higher concentration of solutes. Hypoosmotic Solution (hypotonic): The solution with lower solute concentration. Isosmotic Solution (isotonic): ...
