If two solutions have the same solute concentration and  the same water concentration, they are said to be ___________ to each other.

• hypotonic
• hypertonic
• isotonic

When comparing two solutions, the solution that has less solute and a higher water concentration is called__________.

• hypertonic
• hypotonic
• isotonic

When comparing two solutions, the solution that has more solute and a lower water concentration is called_____________.

• hypertonic
• isotonic
• hypotonic

Small, non-polar molecules like CO₂ and O₂ and NO can pass through the cell membrane using what type of transport?

• Diffusion
• Osmosis
• Facilitated Diffusion
• Endocytosis

During osmosis, when the concentration of water on both sides of a membrane is the same, the water will

• move across the membrane to the outside of the cell.

• stop moving across the membrane.

• continue to move across the membrane in both directions.

• move across the membrane to the inside of the cell.
