Movement Across Membrane

Question 1

Diffusion

Answer 1

The net movement of molecules from area fo high concentration to an area of low concentration down their concentration gradient

Question 2

Define osmosis

Answer 2

The movement of water molecules from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential down a water potential gradient through a partially permeable membrane

Question 3

Hypotonic solution

Answer 3

A solution that has high water potential than water potential of the cell

Question 4

Hypertonic

Answer 4

A solution that has a lower water potential than the water potential of the cell

Question 5

Isotonic

Answer 5

A solution has the same water potential as the water potential of the cell

Question 6

Define active transport

Answer 6

The movement of molecules from a low concentration to a high concentration against their concentration gradient using energy from respiration
