lab #5 Flashcards
the net movement of a solute from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration
diffusion
the result of the random movement of molecules
diffusion
present when there is a different concentration of solutes within a solution
concentration gradient
may be influenced by density of media, concentration gradient, temperature, molecular size, and membrane permeability
rate of diffusion
brown by itself, but dark purple when interacting with starch
iodine
substance through which diffusion occurs, such as water and air
media
a mixture of two substances with one dissolved in the other
solution
substance dissolved in a solution
solute
the substance that there is most of in a solution
solvent
allows some substances to pass through and blocks others based on size
selectively permeable membrane
