    In osmotic pressure: Types of osmotic pressure

    In isosmotic pressure, the two solutions are divided by a semipermeable membrane and have the same solute concentration and therefore the same pressure. In hypoosmotic pressure, the solution inside a semipermeable membrane (e.g., a cell) has a lower solute concentration than the surrounding external solution (i.e.,…
