LAB 7: MOVEMENT OF MOLECULES

Question 1

a physical no-living process that occurs because of the kinetic energy of molecules

Answer 1

diffusion

Question 2

is the process of particles, which are sometimes called solutes, moving through a solution or gas from an area with a higher number of particles to an area with a lower number of particles

Answer 2

concentration gradient

Question 3

when molecules are evenly distributed

Answer 3

equilibrium

Question 4

if there is a large difference in concentration gradient , diffusion occurs rapidly. vice versa

Answer 4

steepness

Question 5

small molecules vibrate more quickly thus they scatter and farther and faster

Answer 5

size

Question 6

as molecules absorb heat they react much faster

Answer 6

temperature

Question 7

the diffusion of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane

Answer 7

osmosis

Question 8

the solution containing more solute is

Answer 8

hypertonic

Question 9

the solution containing less solute

Answer 9

hypotonic

Question 10

same solute concentration

Answer 10

isotonic

Question 11

diffusion of solute molecules through a selectively permeable membrane

Answer 11

dialysis

Question 12

contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell.

Answer 12

plasmolysis

Question 13

the disintegration of a cell by rupture of the cell wall or membrane.

Answer 13

lysis
