Diffusion and Osmosis Exit Ticket

Front

What is diffusion?

Back

Diffusion is the process where molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Front

What does 'high concentration area' mean?

Back

A high concentration area means that the molecules are tightly packed together.

Front

What is an example of diffusion?

Back

An example of diffusion is when a drop of food coloring spreads in water.

Front

Where is there a high concentration of water in a plant?

Back

There is a high concentration of water in the vase.

Front

What is osmosis?

Back

Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

Front

What is a semi-permeable membrane?

Back

A semi-permeable membrane is a barrier that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

In a hypertonic solution, water moves out of the cell, causing it to shrink.

Front

What happens to a cell in a hypotonic solution?

Back

In a hypotonic solution, water moves into the cell, causing it to swell.

Front

What is an isotonic solution?

Back

An isotonic solution is one where the concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell, resulting in no net movement of water.

Front

How does temperature affect diffusion?

Back

Higher temperatures increase the energy of molecules, leading to faster diffusion.
