3.3 Osmosis Flashcards
1
Q
Hypertonic solution
A
Greater conc. of solutes outside
2
Q
Hypotonic solution
A
Lower concentration of solute outside
3
Q
Isotonic solution
A
Same conc. In both solutions
4
Q
Osmosis (passive process)
A
- net movement of water
- water molecules in constant motion
- when solute cant move the net movement of water is towards region with more solute
5
Q
Hemolysis
A
When a blood cell breaks/ruptures from swelling
6
Q
Crenation
A
Shriveling (in a hypertonic solution)
7
Q
Osmolarity
A
The measure of all of the osmotic affects of a solutions solutes
