Osmosis
Cell Transport
Question | Answer |
---|---|
Osmosis | Movement of water from high to low concentration; no energy required |
Hypotonic | A solution with a lower solute concentration; cell swells; water enters the cell |
Hypertonic | A solution with a high solute concentration; cell shrinks; water leaves the cell |
Isotonic | A solution with the same solute concentration; Cell stays the same; water leaves and enters the cell |
Semi-permeable Membrane | A barrier that allows certain molecules to pass through but not others |
Passive Transport | The movement of particles from high to low concentration with no energy required |
