6730239366 | Equilibrium | Where there is no net movement of the substance because the concentration is equal throughout. | 11 | |
6730239367 | Net movement | Overall change in concentration (NOTE: THERE IS STILL MOVEMENT EVEN IF THERE IS NO NET MOVEMENT) | 12 | |
6730239368 | Osmosis | The movement of water from areas of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to low water concentration (high solute concentration). | 13 | |
6730239369 | Isotonic Solution | A solution in which the concentration of the dissolved substance is equal on both sides of the cell membrane | 14 | |
6730239370 | Hypertonic Solution | A solution in which the concentration of the dissolved substance is high (This is a relative term) | 15 | |
6730239371 | Hypotonic Solution | A solution in which the concentration of the dissolved substance is low (This is a relative term). | 16 | |

Need Notes?
While we strive to provide the most comprehensive notes for as many high school textbooks as possible, there are certainly going to be some that we miss. Drop us a note and let us know which textbooks you need. Be sure to include which edition of the textbook you are using! If we see enough demand, we'll do whatever we can to get those notes up on the site for you!
