1
Q
What is the process of Osmosis?
A
Diffusion of water from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane
2
Q
What is a dilute solution?
A

3
Q
What is a concentrated solution?
A
not a lot of water is present
4
Q
What is a partially permeable membrane?
A
A barricade that allows water to pass it except larger molecules that has been dissolved in the water
5
Q
What is the water movement of Osmosis?
A
Moves to make both sides equal in concentration
6
Q

A
A partially permeable membrane
7
Q
What does net movement mean?
A
The overall movement
8
Q
