Question 5

Equilibrium

Answer 5

2 opposing forces are balanced

Question 6

Hydrophilic

Answer 6

Attracts water

Question 7

Phospholipid bilayer

Answer 7

Responsible for transport and the cell membrane is composed of it

Question 8

Brownian motion

Answer 8

Random movements of particles in a fluid, result of constant crashing from molecules surrounding the particle

Question 9

Concentration gradient

Answer 9

Gradual change in concentration of dissolved solute in a solution

Question 10

Turgid cell

Answer 10

Firm cells (becomes firm when water enters cell due to hypotonic surrounding environment)

Question 11

Flaccid

Answer 11

Hanging/loose and soft + limp (lacking turgidity)

Question 12

Plasmolysis

Answer 12

Shrinking if the cytoplasm and plasma membrane away from cell wall due to outflow of water in a hypertonic environment.

Question 13

Rate of diffusion

Answer 13

Relative movement of a particle in response to a concentration gradient
