Worksheet 12 Osmosis and Hypotonic, Hypertonic, and Isotonic Solutions

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Define osmosis   diffusion of water  
🗑
Define hypotonic solution   a lower concentration in the solution, making the cell swell  
🗑
Define hypertonic solution   a higher concentration in the solution, making the cell shrivel  
🗑
Define isotonic solution   equal on both sides of the membrane  
🗑
When a cell is in a hypotonic solution, how will water molecules move?   The water rushes into the cell and lowers the concentration in the cell.  
🗑
When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, how will water molecules move?   goes out so concentration will rise  
🗑
When a cell is in an isotonic solution, how will water molecules move?   move equally in and out  
🗑
Explain how hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt.   Hypotonic makes it swell=rigid and firm, hypertonic does the opposite and makes it wilt  
🗑
Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Explain how facilitated diffusion, which is another form of passive transport, is different from osmosis.   no energy is used, but a protein facilitates, or helps, the transport to occur  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
