Explanation:

Osmosis: Osmosis is the process of movement of water from its high concentration region to its low concentration region via the semipermeable membrane.

Different types of solutions exhibiting osmosis are:

• Hypotonic Solution: It is the solution in which, If the medium surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell, i.e., if the solution is a very dilute solution, then the cell will gain water by osmosis. Such dilute solution is known as the Hypotonic solution.

• Isotonic Solution: It is the solution in which, If the medium surrounding the cell is of exactly the same water concentration as inside the cell, there will be no net movement of water across membrane resulting in no change in the size of the cell. Such kind of solution is known as the Isotonic solution. 

• Hypertonic solution: It is the solution in which, If the medium surrounding the cell has a lower water concentration than inside the cell, i.e., if the solution is highly concentrated, then the cell will lose water www.gradeup.co 48 through osmosis. Such a concentrated solution is known as the Hypertonic solution.
