"Whereas a solution's osmolarity is based solely on its toal solute concentration, its tonicity is determined by how it affects cell volume, which depends not only on the solute concentration but also on the solute permeability of cell membranes. a solution is said to be isotonic when it does not alter cell volume; when a cell comes into contact with an isotonic solution, it neither shrinks nor swells. (This refers to the cell's final volume.)"
There you have it. My life. Study, eat, sleep, stress out. Lather rinse repeat.
