Q

If pure water separates from salt water, the following occurs

A
  • Water molecules move randomly in both directions
  • salt molecules cannot move out so more water moves into the salt solution
  • this is the water moving from high concentration water to lower concentration water (osmosis)

Q

Function of kidneys

A

To make sure fluid in our bodies that surrounds our cells have stable concentration

17
Q

Plants membranes are surrounded by a

18
Q

Plants membranes are

A

Fully permeable and allow all substances

19
Q

Roots absorb water by

20
Q

Turgor

A

The pressure of the vacuole and cytoplasm against the cell wall

21
Q

What gives plants their strenghts

A

Turgor pressure

22
Q

What happens when the outside water enters the plant cell

A

The vacuole becomes bigger and the cytoplasm swells

23
Q

Turgid

A

When the cells are fully swelled

24
Q

What happens when bacteria and fungi are placed in a concentrated solution(sugery/salty)

A

They loose water by osmosis

25
What happens to food when u put them in concentrated solutions
Enzyme action stops and prevents them from growing causing the food to shrivel up and die
26
Examples of food in concentrated solutions
Tinned fruits in sugary solution
27
What happens if an animal cell is in a solution that is less concentrated thats its cytoplasm
The water from outside the call moves into the cell and may cause it to burst or die
28
What happens if an animal cell is more concentrated than its cytoplasm
The water may leave the animal cell causing the cell to shrivel up and may die
