osmosis

Question 1

What is osmosis

Answer 1

osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration

Question 2

what is diffusion

Answer 2

diffusion is the net of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration

Question 3

what is a partially permeable membrane

Answer 3

its a membrane with very small holes in it - only tiny molecules such as water can pass through and bigger molecules such as sucrose can’t.

Question 4

what is water concentration

Answer 4

the amount of water, as compared to other molecules, like sugar and salts that are dissolved in water

Question 5

if there is more water than solutes what is the concentration

Answer 5

high water concentration
low solute concentration

Question 6

is there is more solutes than water what is the concentration

Answer 6

low water concentration
hiw solute concentration

Question 7

what is osmosis

Answer 7

osmosis is the process of inside the cell the water concentration being low and outside the cell the water concentration high. the higher concentration water molecules diffuse through the partially permeable membrane into the cell in the low water concentration
