Diffusion and Osmosis

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

Random movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached

Question 2

Selective Permeability

Answer 2

The property of a membrane that allows some materials to enter, while keeping others out

Question 3

Osmosis

Answer 3

The diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane

Question 4

Isotonic Solution

Answer 4

Question 5

Hypertonic Solution

Answer 5

A solution in which the concentration of dissolved particles is higher than the concentration inside the cell

Question 6

Hypotonic Solution

Answer 6

A solution in which concentration of dissolved particles is lower than the concentration inside the cell

Question 7

Endocytosis

Answer 7

Transport of large substances into the cell

Question 8

Exocytosis

Answer 8

Releases substances from inside the cell to outside the cell

Question 9

Pinocytosis

Answer 9
