A hypertonic solution has a higher amount of osmotic potential than any other type of solution.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, which creates a higher osmotic potential. This causes water molecules to move from an area of low concentration (in this case, areas with less solutes) to an area of high concentration (areas with more solutes) through osmosis, ultimately leading to cell shrinkage or dehydration.
