| Use as many big words as you can to explain what happens when you leave a carrot in salt water over night. |
|
Definition
| i.e.: carrot cells are selectively permeable to salt and water. Salt diffuses into the carrot cells, water diffuses out of the carrot, which is called osmosis. the salt and water are trying to reach equilibrium. this is called passive transport bc no energy is required. This is not active transport bc no energy was required. This is not endocytosis or exocytosis bc salt and water are passing through the membrane. when water is sucked out of the cytoplasm, the cell contracts inside the cell wall, making the carrot flimsy |
