Q

What is a semi-permeable membrane?

A

Membrane that allows water to pass freely but restricts other substances based on differing factors

17
Q

What is osmosis?

A

Flow of fluid from higher water (lower solute) concentrations to lower water (higher solute) concentrations

18
Q

What is normal saline?

A

0.9% sodium

19
Q

What is tonicity?

A

Osmotic gradient of two seperate solutions.

20
Q

What is hypertonic?

A

Fluid with more solute concentration than base cell

21
Q

What is hypotonic?

A

Fluid with less solute concentration than the base cell

22
Q

What is crenation?

A

When so much water is removed from a cell through osmosis that it can no longer function and it dies

23
Q

What is lysis?

A

When so much water is added to a cell through osmosis that it “explodes” and dies.

24
Q

What is tonicity?

A

Tension exerted on a cell as a result of water movement across the cell membrane
