Osmosis and Diffusion

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 
• molecules move everywhere

Where is there a high concentration of bbq smoke?

• In the bbq pit
• In the house
• Two streets over
• In the atmosphere

When a person smells something, what is actually traveling up their nose?

• solids 
• molecules 
• matter
• plasma 

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
• the diffusion of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

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
• the diffusion of particles from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

The picture below is an example of _________________.

• osmosis
• isotonic
• diffusion
• active transport

Osmosis is the movement of _____ across a membrane.

• food
• energy
• oxygen
• water

_______ regulates what enters and leaves a cell.  

• Cell Membrane
• Nucleus
• Mitochondria
• Cytoplasm

Equilibrium?

• a large  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a small amount on the other side
• a small  amount of substance on  side of the cell and a large amount on the otherside
• equal amount of substance on either side of the membrane  
• no particles on either side of the a cell membrane

What is the definition of Osmosis?

• the movement of WATER molecules across the cell membrane.
  
• the state where molecules are equally concentrated (balanced) on both sides of the cell membrane.
  
• the process that brings LARGE particles INTO the cell through the cell membrane
  
• he movement of molecules across the cell membrane that REQUIRES ENERGY output from the cell
