| Index is a percentage but it's only used when referencing formaldehyde. | true |
| The quantitative relation between two amounts showing the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other is known as a/an . | ratio |
| The number of grams of solute dissolved in 100 milliliters (ml) of solution is referred to as a: | percentage |
| A - solution contains a relatively small amount of dissolved solute while a - solution has a relatively large amount of dissolved solute. | dilute, concentrated |
| normal case, want to make your solution - compared to the blood fluids so the solution will be pulled - tissues/cells. an edematous case, want to make your solution - compared to blood/bodily fluids to pull excess moisture - the tissue. | hypotonic, into, hypertonic, out of |
| When osmosis occurs, the - moves from the area of - concentration, through the semi-permeable membrane, into the area of - concentration. | solvent, lesser (hypotonic), greater (hypertonic) |
| During the process of - in embalming, the - formaldehyde molecule is separated from the - humectant molecule by the - | dialysis, crystalloidal, colloidal, cell membrane |
| is the separation of substances in solution on the basis of differences in their ability to pass through a semipermeable membrane. | Dialysis |
| When a red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, the process of - occurs and the cell - ; this specific process is referred to as - . | plasmoptysis. swells and bursts, hemolysis |
| Plasmoptysis is the - of water into a cell when the cell is placed in a - solution. Plasmolysis is the - of water into a cell when the cell is placed in a - solution. | taking in, hypotonic, giving off, hypertonic |
| When a red blood cell shrinks due to the process of - , the process is referred to as - . | plasmolysis, crenation |
| - is added to arterial fluids to minimize - , a chemical reaction in which two or more molecules combine to form larger molecules that contain repeating structural units. | Methanol, polymerization |
| Alcohols are - compounds that contain at least one - functional group. | organic, hydroxyl |

| What is the primary characteristic of a dihydroxyl alcohol? | Contains two hydroxyl functional groups |
| Methylene glycol is a liquid compound formed when - combines with - . | formaldehyde gas, water |
| During embalming, formaldehyde cross-links proteins by creating a chemical structure called a . | methylene bridge |
| Ethanal is also known as acetaldehyde. | true |
| Glutaraldehyde | Dialdehyde |
| Paraldehyde | Solid form of ethanal |
| Benzaldehyde | Benzene ring with -CHO functional group attached |
| Formaldehyde has a strong affinity for the element - , which means it reacts well with the - in our body. | nitrogen, proteins |
