Fluids that move from areas of lower concentration of solutes to area of higher concentration is called? correct answer: Osmosis Hypotonic solutions: correct answer: Fluids are LESS CONCENTRATED, more electrolytes are in the cell than in the vascular space so this causes water to be drawn into the cell in an attempt to make fluids in vascular space LESS diluted and move towards its normal concentration. Ex: 0.33%NS, 0.45%NS Hypertonic solutions: correct answer: Fluids are MORE CONCEN...
