Diffusion and Osmosis

Match the following

• Diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane

• Concentration

• Amount of substance in a given space

• Osmosis

• Movement of particles from an area of concentration to an area of lower concentratioin

• Selectively Permeable Membrane

• Allows some materials to pass through but keeps other materials out

• Diffusion

Match the following

• Can be compared to a window screen

• Osmosis

• Process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide is moved into a cell

• Diffusion

• When water particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration

• Selectively Permeable Membrane

Diffusion is the movement of particles from __1__ concentration to __2__ concentration until they are __3__ spread out.

• 1

• evenly

• 2

• higher

• 3

• lower

Which best describes which directions molecules move during diffusion?

• from an area of equilibrium to an area of high concentration

• from an area of equilibrium to an area of low concentration

• from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

• from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

What is the process by which water diffuses across a selectively permeable membrane?

• active  transport

• osmosis

• simple diffusion

• facilitated diffusion

You decide to buy a new fish for your freshwater aquarium. When you introduce the fish into its new tank, the fish swells up and dies. You later learn that it was a fish from the ocean. what could have caused the fish to swell up and die?

• The water from the cells of the fish began to move out causing the cells to shrink.

• The salt moved into cells causing the fish to die.

• The freshwater from the aquarium moved into cells of the fish.

• The different concentrations of salt and freshwater caused the fish to be in an isotonic state.
