OSMOSIS AND DIFFUSION

Question 1

movement of solvent (liquid)
particles across a semipermeable membrane
from a dilute solution to the concentrated
solution

Answer 1

OSMOSIS

Question 2

diffusion of solvent across a
membrane, the movement solvent
molecules from a region of lower solute
concentration to a region of higher solute
concentration

Answer 2

OSMOSIS

Question 3

movement of water
from higher water concentration to lower
water concentration through a semipermeable membrane

Answer 3

OSMOSIS

Question 4

process where the low concentration
solvent is the one who enters the
semipermeable membrane to balance the
concentration of the high concentration area

Answer 4

OSMOSIS

Question 5

require semipermeable membrane that only let
the allowed molecules to pass

Answer 5

OSMOSIS

Question 6

occurs in liquid medium

Answer 6

OSMOSIS

Question 7

concentration of the solvent does not
become equal on both sides of the
membrane

Answer 7

OSMOSIS

Question 8

−Depends on the solute potential

Answer 8

OSMOSIS

Question 9

−Depends on the number of solute particles
that are dissolved in a solvent

Answer 9

OSMOSIS

Question 10

seeks to equalize the solvent
concentration, but it does not achieve
equalization due to the limit it can only
absorb.

Answer 10

OSMOSIS

Question 11

movement of solute molecules
from an area of higher concentration to an
area of lower concentration.

Answer 11

DIFFUSION

Question 12

movement of
particles/molecules from an area of higher
concentration to lower concentration. The
overall effect is to equalize concentration
throughout the medium/system

Answer 12

DIFFUSION

Question 13

−Doesn’t need a cell membrane can pass
through immediately;
Doesn’t require a semi
permeable membrane

Answer 13

DIFFUSION

Question 14

equalize the concentration as long as
there is space

Answer 14

DIFFUSION

Question 15

Any type of substance that moves from a
higher concentration to lower concentration

Answer 15

DIFFUSION

Question 16

Can occur in any medium solid, liquid and
gas

Answer 16

DIFFUSION

Question 17

Does depend on solute, pressure, and water
potential

Answer 17

DIFFUSION

Question 18

Mainly depends on the presence of other
particles

Answer 18

DIFFUSION

Question 19

occurs more rapidly in a high
temperature concentration

Answer 19

DIFFUSION

Question 20

both passive
transport processes that act to equalize the
concentration of a solution.

Answer 20

• Diffusion and osmosis

Question 21

moves from a higher concentration
to low concentration until the equilibrium is
reached

Answer 21

Diffusion

Question 22

semipermeable membrane is
present that only solvent molecules (liquid)
are free to move to equalize the
concentration. It doesn’t permit gas and solid
to pass through

Answer 22

osmosis,

Question 23

refers to the breakdown of a cell caused by
damage to its plasma (outer) membrane

Answer 23

CELL LYSIS / LYSIS

Question 24

Shrinking of the Cells

Answer 24

CRENATION

Question 25

Do not require any input of extra energy to occur.

Answer 25

PASSIVE TRANSPORT PROCESS

Question 26

Ability of the solute to absorb the solvent

Answer 26

SOLUTE POTENTIAL

Question 27

Low Concentration

Answer 27

HYPOTONIC

Question 28

High concentration

Answer 28

HYPERTONIC

Question 29

Tonicity of the outer and inner area are the same

Answer 29

ISOTONIC

Question 30

Refers to the relative solute concentration of two environments separated by a semipermeable membrane

Answer 30

TONICITY
