Diffusion and Osmosis

In which case would a cell most likely shrink?

• when placed in a solution containing a high salt concentration
• when placed in a isotonic solution
• when placed in a solution containing a low pH
• when placed in a solution containing distilled water

A student noticed that placing wilted lettuce in a bowl of cool water caused the lettuce to become more crisp and firm. What is the best explanation for his observation?

• Water moved into the lettuce cells by active transport.
• Water moved into the lettuce cells by osmosis.
• Salt moved into the lettuce cells by diffusion.
• Water moved out of the lettuce cells by osmosis.

Diffusion and Osmosis are examples of...

• Active Transport
• Passive Transport

During diffusion

• substances (things) moves from high to low concentration
• water moves when energy is used
• large or oddly shaped molecules move across a cell membrane
• water moves from high to low concentration

• at the bottom of cup
• in the color
• at the top of cup 
• no concenteraion gradient
