What is osmosis?

Back

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

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define hypertonic solution.

Back

A hypertonic solution has a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution, leading to water moving out of cells placed in this solution.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define hypotonic solution.

Back

A hypotonic solution has a lower concentration of solutes compared to another solution, causing water to move into cells placed in this solution.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define isotonic solution.

Back

An isotonic solution has an equal concentration of solutes compared to another solution, resulting in no net movement of water into or out of cells.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to an animal cell in a hypertonic solution?

Back

The animal cell will shrink as water moves out of the cell to balance the solute concentration.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to an animal cell in a hypotonic solution?

Back

The animal cell will swell and may burst as water moves into the cell.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of osmosis in cells?
