1
Q
How does the ability of absolute to move across a membrane affect Osmosis?
A
The ability for the solute to move would cause Osmosis to occur more frequently
2
Q
How do solutes move?
A
From an area of high to low concentration
3
Q
Why does diffusion continue even at equilibrium?
A
Because it’s kinetic energy never stops
4
Q
What do semi permeable membranes do?
A
The selectively allow substances to pass
5
Q
Water flows in what direction?
A
From low osmotic pressure to high osmotic pressure
6
Q
Turgor pressure
A
Specific to plants, type of osmotic pressure that counteracts the diffusion of water into a cell
7
Q
High solute concentration
A
High osmotic pressure
8
