osmosis

Question 1

cells with cell walls

isotonic solution

Answer 1

water concentration is equal inside and outside the cell

rates of diffusion are EQUAL in both directions

Question 2

cells without cell walls

isotonic solution

Answer 2

rates of diffusion are EQUAL in both directions

Question 3

cells with cell walls

hypotonic solution

Answer 3

net diffusion of water is INTO the cell

swells the protoplast and pushes it tightly against the wall

the wall usually prevents the cell from bursting

Question 4

cells without cell walls

hypotonic solution

Answer 4

diffusion of water INTO the cell causes it to SWELL and may BURST it if no mechanism exists to remove the water

Question 5

cells with cell walls

hypertonic solution

Answer 5

water diffuses OUT of the cell and SHRINKS the cytoplasmic membrane AWAY from the cell wall in the process known as PLASMOLYSIS

Question 6

cells without cell walls

hypertonic solution

Answer 6

water diffusing OUT of the cell causes it to SHRINK and become DISTORTED
