4
Q

Best predictor of substance’s direction of diffusion

A

Concentration
Why
Temperature and pressure also affect diffusion but are relatively constant

15
Q

Isotonic

A

Two solution with equal concentrations of solutes

16
Q

Water potential

A

Water will flow from HIGH water potential to LOW water potential
HIGH water concentrations( low solute concentration ) and high pressure increase water potential

17
Q

Decrease in water potential

A

High solutes and low pressure

18
Q

Lower water potential in leaves because

A

Loss of water to atmosphere
water flows from roots(high water potential)
To leaves(low water potential)

19
Q

Lysis

A

Destruction of a cell by the influx of water

20
Q

Hemolysis

A

Animal cells burst because increase in water pressure, don’t have cell walls

21
Q

Plasmolysis

A

Shrinking of the cytoplasm of a plant cell in response to diffusion of water out of a cell and into hypertonic solution
Cellular membrane pulls away from cell wall
