Understanding Osmosis and Cellular Equilibrium

What happens to the concentration of your blood when you consume too much salt?

• The salt concentration increases.

• The blood becomes more acidic.

• The water concentration increases.

• The salt concentration decreases.

What is the process called when water moves across a cell membrane from a higher to a lower concentration?

• Active transport

• Filtration

• Osmosis

• Diffusion

Why is osmosis considered a special type of diffusion?

• It involves the movement of salts.

• It changes the cell's volume or size.

• It requires energy input.

• It only occurs in plant cells.

What happens to a cell in a watery environment?

• It becomes more rigid.

• It expands and may burst.

• It remains unchanged.

• It shrinks due to water loss.

How does a cell react in a salty environment?

• It becomes more flexible.

• It absorbs more water.

• It starts producing more salt.

• It shrivels due to water loss.
