Term
Osmosis is the movement of
Definition
Water
Term
What does passive transport mean?
Definition
it doesn't require energy to take place
Term
By looking at the image, describe high concentration to low concentration as far as water molecules in diffusion.
Definition
When I look at the picture and hear that they go from high to low concentration I think that it means as they move along the molecules get less and less stronger.
Term
Water travels from ______ water concentration to a _______ water concentration
Definition
high to low
Term
Pick the correct statement
Definition
Solutes are dissolved into a solvent
Term
A low water concentration means a __________ solute concentration
Definition
high
Term
True or False: Water moves toward a high solute concentration
Definition
True
Term
A high solute concentration means there is _____ water concentration.
Definition
B
Term
Why do the water molecules move to side B?
Definition
They move to side B because that is the side with the high solute.
Term
Water will move to the side of the membrane where there is _____ concentration of solutes.
Definition
High
Term
So....what does "semipermeable" mean in reference to the cell membrane?
Definition
It lets tiny things pass through but not big
Term
What happens when salt is added to one side?
Definition
The water molecules move from low solute to high solute side.
Term
True or False: Water will stop moving through the cell membrane completely once the concentration of the water is the same on both sides.
Definition
false
Term
What does "hypertonic" mean in relation to concentration levels?
Definition
It has the high amount of solute.
Term
If you were to compare hypertonic to hypotonic, how does the concentration of each compare to the other?
Definition
The hyper tonic side has a high amount of solute, and the hypo-tonic side has a low amount.
Term
The side with more solutes is
Definition
hypertonic
Term
Why would the pure water go to the blood cells?
Definition
It would make them swell and burst.
Term
What does ISOtonic mean?
Definition
Equal to
Term
How would you differentiate between HYPERtonic, ISOtonic and HYPOtonic solutions and their effect on blood cells?
Definition
If something is hyper-tonic it has a high solute concentration, if it is hypo-tonic then it has a low solute concentration, and isotonic is when everything is stable and equal.
Term
Why would the freshwater do to the saltwater?
Definition
It would make it swell and explode.
Term
So...why does the water in the soil go TO the plant roots exactly? Explain your answer
Definition
The soil is hypertonic so therefore the water will move in the dirt towards the roots and gives the plant nutrience
Term
Why do so many plants by roadsides die in the winter after roads have been salted?
Definition
The salt makes the soil hypertonic so the water doesn't travel to the root hairs
Term
So if the slug is HYPOtonic and the salt is HYPERtonic, where and why is the water moving?
Definition
The water is moving toward the salt and then the salt becomes the base of the slug which hen dries out the slug.
