B1.7 OSMOSIS Flashcards
what’s the name of 2 solutions within the same concentrations
isotonic
what’s the name if the solution is more concentrated ( more solute, less water)
hypertonic
what’s the name if the solution is more dilute ( more water, less solution )
hypotonic
what’s osmosis
diffusion of water across a partially permeable membrane from a dilute to a more concentrated solution
what type of membrane is the cell membrane
partially permeable
what’s a partially permeable membrane
a membrane that allows only certain substances to pass through
what will happen if animal cells are surrounded by a hypotonic solution
they will swell and possible burst as water moves into cell by osmosis
what will happen if the solution around animal cells is a hypertonic solution
shrink due to water moving out the cell
