Osmosis Practice Problems

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

What is the definition of  Selective Permeability?

• The movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires NO ENERGY from the cell.
  
• The movement of materials through (or across) the cell membrane
  
• The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.
• The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration (where the molecules are more crowded together) to a area of low concentration (where molecules are more spread apart)

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
