Osmosis Flashcards
1
Q
is a process of movement of solvents through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to higher solute concentration
A
Osmosis
2
Q
THE CELL SHRINKS & water goes out
A
Hypertonic
3
Q
THE CELL BURST(swell) & water goes in
A
Hypotonic
4
Q
has the same concentration of solutes as another solution across a semipermeable membrane
A
Isotonic
5
Q
In animal cells it’s better if the cell is in what state?
A
Isotonic
6
Q
In plant cells it’s better if the cell is in what state?
A
Turgid
7
Q
Plants need a lot of water to?
A
stand up (for mechanical support). They also won’t burst because of their cell wall
8
Q
Pressure exerted by fluid in a cell that presses the cell membrane against the cell wall
Provides the turgidity of cell
A
Turgor pressure
