  • The diagram shows water and sugar molecules on either side of a partially permeable membrane. What happens during osmosis?
    More water molecules pass through the membrane from Y to X than from X to Y.
  • In a solution, the substance that is dissolved is called the
    Solute
  • If a plant cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, what will happen?
    It will swell but not burst
  • What is the primary function of osmosis in cells?
    To balance water concentration inside and outside the cell
  • A solution with a high concentration of solute and a low concentration of water is called
    Hypertonic
  • What type of solution causes water to leave an animal cell, leading to crenation?
    Hypertonic Solution
  • What happens to a red blood cell placed in a hypertonic solution?
    It shrinks
  • Beaker X contains 25 grams of sugar dissolved in 400 mL of water. Beaker Y contains 30 grams of sugar dissolved in 500 mL of water. Which solution has a higher sugar concentration?
    ?
  • Which process specifically refers to the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
    Osmosis
  • What is the term for the shrinking of animal cells in a hypertonic solution?
    Crenation
  • The diagram shows a fish in a pond. Why does oxygen diffuse from the air into the water before reaching the fish?
    Oxygen is more concentrated in the air than in the water.
  • What happens to a cell placed in an isotonic solution?
    It stays the same
  • In osmosis, water moves from
    A hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution
  • A jar of air was placed upside down on top of a jar containing a brown gas as shown. Which process has taken place?
    diffusion upwards only
  • Which process in humans does not use energy released from respiration?
    b) diffusion of oxygen
  • What is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?
    Diffusion
  • The process of a cell bursting due to excess water intake in a hypotonic solution is called
    Lysis
  • If a plant cell is placed in an isotonic solution, the plant may
    Wilt due to lack of turgor pressure
