Hypertonic Solution

Back

A solution that has a higher concentration of solute outside of the cell, causing water to leave the cell by osmosis.

Front

Prokaryotic Cell

Back

A microscopic, unicellular organism without a nucleus or other membrane-bound organelles.

Front

State

Back

To give a specific name, value, or other brief answer without explanation or calculation.

Front

Experimental Testing

Back

Gathering data based on controlled investigations.

Front

Isotonic Solution

Back

A solution where the concentration of solute is equal inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.

Front

Eukaryotic Cell

Back

A cell that contains a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles.

Front

Osmosis

Back

The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

Front

Empirical Evidence

Back

Data gathered through observation and experimentation.

Front

Logical Reasoning

Back

The process of using a rational, systematic series of steps to arrive at a conclusion.
