The plasma membrane becomes more permeable when dehydrated

• TRUE

• FALSE

Type of cellular communication wherein neurotransmitters are released at the gap junctions and act across a postsynaptic cleft.

• Endocrine

• Paracrine

• Neural

Positive Feedback Mechanism can lead to instability or death

• TRUE

• FALSE

IONS that are more abundant in the intracellular environment

• Sodium

Net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane

• Diffusion

• Osmosis

Decreased temperature will lead to faster osmosis

• True

• False

The greater the osmolality, the faster is the osmosis

• TRUE
