Osmosis/Diffusion/Transport/Cell
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Solvent | The substance that does the dissolving |
| Osmotic/turgor pressure | The pressure of water on the membrane of the cell caused by osmosis. |
| Isotonic | The same concentration as another solution or surroundings |
| Impermeable | A solute cannot pass through the membrane |
| Solute | The substance that gets dissolved in a solution |
| Equilibrium | When there is no net movement of particles |
| Hypotonic | Lower concentration than another solution |
| Semi-permeable | Some types of solute can pass and some other types cannot pass through |
| Solution | A solution homogeneous mixture of two or more substances |
| Concentration gradient | The difference in concentration level between two substances |
| Hypertonic | Higher concentration than another solution or surroundings.q |
| Permeable | A solute can pass through the membrane. |
| Diffusion | The movement of particles from high concentration to low concentration. |
| Osmosis | Diffusion of water. |
