Diffusion And Osmosis Flashcards
1
Q
Diffusion
A
The movement of molecules from highly concentrated to less concentrated areas.
2
Q
Osmosis
A
The moment of water molecules from concentrated to less concentrated areas.
3
Q
Crenation
A
When animals cells are exposed to hypertonic solutions they lose moisture and shrivel; drinking salt water.
4
Q
Lysed
A
When animal cells are exposed to hypotonic solutions water fills the cell and it explodes.
5
Q
Plasmolize
A
When exposed to hypertonic solutions plant cell membranes shrivel away from the cell walls.
6
Q
Turgid
A
When plant cells are exposed to hypotonic solutions they swell, creating pressure against cell walls.
