Lab 5

Question 1

Active process

Answer 1

requires ATP ( energy) to transport substances across the plasma membrane

Question 2

Passive process

Answer 2

does not requires the cell to expend energy because the kinetic energy of the particles causes them to move from an area of their higher concentration to an their lower concentration.

Question 3

Concentration gradient

Answer 3

indicates there is a difference in the concentration of molecules or ions inside the cell(intracellular)compared to the outside of the cell( extracellular)

Question 4

Osmosis

Answer 4

the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane to equalized solute concentration

Question 5

Solvent

Answer 5

dissolving medium which is water in living organisms

Question 6

Solute

Answer 6

substance dissolved in solvent

Question 7

Crenated

Answer 7

shriveled with spiked edges

Question 8

Hemolysis

Answer 8

the breaking down of blood

lyses

Question 9

What substances were used in the lab?

Answer 9

Red 40% Sucrose solution

Distilled water

Question 10

What do you observed in the lab and why

Answer 10

Water rushed into the dialysis tubing because there was a higher solute concentration.The rushing water makes the dialysis tubing’s overall mass to increase. This change was due to osmosis.
