Ins And Outs Of Osmosis And Diffusion

Question 1

Meet Frank

Answer 1

Frank is a paramecium

Parameciums are unicellular (single celled)

Paramecium are protists and are eukaryotes

They are found in water environments typically freshwater

They move using their hair like structures that cover the outside of the cell (part of the cell membrane)

If the paramecium is killed, what is the process called? LYSED

If Frank is about 1% solute concentration inside, where is salt more concentrated (remember he is swimming in freshwater (inside)

What type of solution is Frank swimming in (hypertonic

Question 2

Questions

Answer 2

Frank is about 1% solute concentration inside

If so could permeate the cell membrane in which direction would salt move? High to low

Where is water more concentrated? Outside the cell

Which direction will the water molecules move? High to low

What type of solution is Frank swimming in? Hypotonic

If the paramecium Is killed, what is this process called? Plasmolysis
