#32) Big Idea 2 Term 21: Hypertonic

Above floats a piece of wood bark in a pool of water. If one were to leave it there for a few days, it would get bigger and softer. Why? Because it is hypertonic to the water around it. This means that there is more stuff per square inch in the wood than in the water so the water flows towards where there is more stuff. it is a natural property of water.
