Question 11

All cells must be able to take in and expel various substances across their membranes in order to?

Survive, grow and reproduce

Question 12

A membrane is described as?

Answer 12

Semi permeable

Question 13

What is diffusion?

Answer 13

The net movement of substance from an area of high to low concentration

Question 14

Does the diffusion require an input of energy?

Answer 14

Nope, it is passive

Question 15

When does diffusion stop?

Answer 15

When the concentration on either side of the membrane is equal

Question 16

What is osmosis

Answer 16

The net movement of water molecules from an area of high to low con. It does not require energy.

Question 17

What is a hypotonic solution?

Answer 17

A dilute solution (lots of water, little of other substances)

Question 18

What’s a hypertonic solution?

Answer 18

Less water (concentrated solution, more of other substances)
