Document Summary

For example, let us say the cell has 90% water and 10 % solutes. The solution outside of the cell is hypertonic. That means it has more solutes, so we can say it has 25% solutes. 75%, so they add to 100%: the actual solutes are unknown, so you do not know if they can move across the membrane. Now we consider the differences in the percentages of water in the cell (90%), and outside of the cell (75%). Isotonic: concentration of a solute is the same on both sides of the membrane: the balance of water and solutes is the same inside the cell as outside the cell. Our cell is 90% water and 10% solutes. If the solution outside of the cell is hypotonic, we can state that the solution is 95% water and 5 % solutes. Active transport: certain cells that line the stomach synthesize digestive enzyme and secrete it into the stomach.
