2
Q
Hypertonic
A
High solute , low solution
Animal cells - crenanted
Plant cells - plasmolysed
3
Q
Turgid cell (plant cells)
A
Look swollen , many cells visible
High solution, low solute
4
Q
Plasmolysed cell (plant cells)
A
Shriveled , looks like everything is inside one blob
Low solution , high solute
5
Q
High Molecular weight in diffusion
A
Slower diffusion w high molecular weight
(Flatter slope in graph)
6
Q
Low molecular weight in diffusion
A
Faster diffusion w low weight
(Steep slope in graphs)
