Diffusion/Osmosis Cells

What is diffusion?

• when molecules move from a low concentration to a high concentration 
• when molecules move from a high concentration to a low concentration.
• no movement

What is the definition of  Selective Permeability?

• The movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires NO ENERGY from the cell.
  
• The movement of materials through (or across) the cell membrane
  
• The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.

Osmosis

• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable mebrane from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
• the diffusion of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
• diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Equilibrium?

• a large  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a small amount on the other side

In the given scenario what will happen to the organism: salt is poured onto eggplant.

• Water will move out of the eggplant cells and the cells will shrink.
• Water will move out of the eggplant cells and the cells will swell.
• Water will move into the eggplant cells and the cells will swell.

In the given scenario what will happen?  An egg is placed in pure water for 48 hours.

• The egg will gain water and swell.
• Water will move in and out of the cell equally, and the cell with neither shrink nor swell.
• The egg will lose water and shrink.

How many diamond molecules need to move to reach equilibrium?

• A net of 2 molecules move inside the cell.
• A net of 2 molecules move outside the cell.
• There is no net movement because the molecules are at equilibrium.
• The molecules do not move.

Which way will the water molecules move during osmosis?

• Out of the cell, so the cell shrinks.
• Out of the cell, so the cell swells.
• Into the cell, so the cell shrinks.
