Front

Define osmosis.

Back

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

Front

What is a selectively permeable membrane?

Back

A membrane that allows certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion and occasionally by facilitated diffusion.

Front

Explain the role of glucose in the body.

Back
