16
Q

is the hydrostatic pressure produced by a difference in concentration between solutions on the two sides of a surface

A

osmotic pressure

17
Q

means the same

A

iso

18
Q

the concentration of solute (salt) is equal on both sides, the water will move back in forth but it won’t have any result on the overall amount of water on either side.

A

isotonic solution

19
Q

means less

A

hypo

20
Q

in this case there are less solute (salt) molecules outside the cell, since salt sucks, water will move into the cell.

A

hypotonic solution

21
Q

means more

A

hyper

22
Q

there are more solute (salt) molecules outside the cell, which causes the water to be sucked in that direction

A

hypertonic solution

23
Q

from greek word dialusis

A

dialysis

24
Q

dialusis

A

meaning dissolution

25
Q

dia meaning

A

through

26
Q

lusis meaning

A

loosening

27
Q

Method of separating particles of different dimensions in a liquid mixture using a thin semi permeable membrane whose pores are too small to allow the passage of large particles such as proteins but large enough to permit the passage of ions

A

dialysis
