Lesson 2- Osmosis and Diffusion Flashcards
Diffusion
passive directional movement of molecules FROM high to low concentrations, heat or pressure
heat
random motion of molecules
brownian motion
when the resulting particle vibrates after a small solvent particle hits it
brownian motion and diffusion (ice cube)
ice cube in tea, the sugar moves up and it become a homogenous solution
rate of diffusion depends on
concentration
size of molecules
temp of solution
density of solvent
differentially permeable
when ions cannot go inside but non polar molecules can
osmosis
diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane
solvent
the substance in larger concentration
why does osmosis occur
because water likes being around polar molecules
hypertonic
has more solute concentration
isotonic
Same solute concentration
turgor pressure
Turgor pressure is the force within the cell that pushes the vacuole and membrane against the cell wall.
Plasmolysis
Plasmolysis is the process in which cells lose water in a hypertonic solution.
hemolysis
rupturing of blood cells when they are placed into a hypotonic solution
figure statements
1) give the graph a title that describes what you are measuring and what process (should be different than axis and tell you about experiment
2) write a few sentences on the instruments used/ samples that you are measuring ex bag A contains 2 percent sucrose solution
