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
does particle movement change with heat
heat increases the motion and more collisions occur
molecular weight and diffusion
less weight should diffuse faster and further
small molecules
sodium ion, hydroxyl ion and iodine pass through the semipermeable membrane because they are smaller moleculesq
osmosis requires
a steep free energy gradient
what caused the curves for bags in osmosis to become horizontal
increased pressure in the bag
how to find concentration of solute in cell based on microscope
if the cells don’t lyse, it is that concentration, on graph, the line would be horizontal
permeability of cell membrane
very permeable to water
what causes plants steps to be crisp
turgor pressure due to adequate water in cells
how do cells stop lysis
they have rigid cell walls
how is data statistically significant
if the 95% confidence intervals don’t overlap
_________ are molecules like enzymes and self splicing RNA.
biological catalysts
Brownian motion explains diffusion;
molecules hit each other until they become evenly distributed
rate of diffusion depends on
- concentration
- size
- temperature
- density
