Osmosis

Question 1

Osmosis definition

Answer 1

The movement of particles from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane

Question 2

Solvent

Answer 2

A liquid which a solute dissolves in

Question 3

Solute

Answer 3

The substance that dissolves in a liquid to form a solution

Question 4

Solution

Answer 4

Mixture formed when a solute has dissolved in a solvent

Question 5

Hypertonic solution

Answer 5

Concentration of the solutes on the solution surrounding the cell is higher than inside the cell (less water) - movement out of the cell

Question 6

Isotonic solution

Answer 6

Concentration of solutes in the solution surrounding the cell is the same as inside the cell- no net movement

Question 7

Hypotonic solution

Answer 7

Concentration of solutes surrounding the cell is lower than inside the cell (more water) - movement into the cell

Question 8

Partially permeable membrane

Answer 8

Only allows certain substances to move through it
