Osmosis, diffusion and cell division

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

Diffusion is when particles can spread out freely from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Question 2

Osmosis

Answer 2

Osmosis is the diffusion of water a dilute solution to a concentrated solution across a partially permeable membrane, down a concentration gradient.

Question 3

Partially permeable membrane

Answer 3

A partially permeable membrane is a membrane that lets only some of the particles move across it; the ones that can fit through.

Question 4

Why an animal cell will burst and a plant cell will not

Answer 4

An animal cell will burst when full of water because it Does NOT have a cell wall however a plant cell a does and will not burst when full.
