Osmosis is the passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration. The document defines hypotonic as a lower solute concentration, hypertonic as a higher solute concentration, and isotonic as an equal solute concentration compared to another solution.
