Osmotic Gradient:

when net diffusion of water goes from a diluted to a concentrated solution in its own gradient

Osmotic Pressure

water moving along the concentration gradient

Isotonic Solution

the solution being compared have equal concentrations of solutes

Hypertonic Solution

the solution with a higher concentration of solute (Due the lower concentration of free water molecules)

Hypotonic Solution

the solution with a lower concentration of solute (Due the higher concentration of free water molecules)
