Understanding Osmosis and Cellular Equilibrium

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

• The blood becomes more acidic.

• The salt concentration increases.

• 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?

• Diffusion

• Active transport

• Osmosis

• Filtration

Why is osmosis considered a special type of diffusion?

• It only occurs in plant cells.

• It requires energy input.

• It involves the movement of salts.

• It changes the cell's volume or size.

What happens to a cell in a watery environment?

• It becomes more rigid.

• It shrinks due to water loss.

• It expands and may burst.

• It remains unchanged.

In a salty environment, what happens to the water concentration inside a cell?

• It increases.

• It becomes acidic.

• It decreases.

• It remains the same.
