Term
Osmosis is the movement of?
Definition
Any liquid.
Term
Describe high to low concentration in water.
Definition
One side of water tries to make the other side equal.
Term
Water travels from what concentrations?
Definition
Low to high.
Term
Is it: 1) Solvent dissolves into a solute, or 2), A solute dissolves into a solvent.
Definition
1)
Term
A low water concentration means?
Definition
A high solute concentration.
Term
True or False, water moves to more solutes.
Definition
True
Term
A high solute concentration means?
Definition
Less water.
Term
Water will move to a different side if?
Definition
There is a higher solute concentration.
Term
What does semipermeable mean in contrast to the cell membrane?
Definition
It does not let certain materials pass through, but does let gases through.
Term
What does semipermeable mean in contrast to the cell membrane?
Definition

Term
Water will completely not move when the membrane is closed of?
Definition

Term
What does hypertonic mean?
Definition
It means there is a high water concentration.
Term
What is hypertonic and hypotonic?
Definition
Hyper tonnic means a high water concentration, and hypotonic means a low water concentration.
Term
The side with more solutes is?
Definition
Hypotonic.
Term
What does isotonic mean?
Definition
It means the concentration is equal on both sides.
Term
What is the difference between the concentration levels, and what is their effect on blood cells?
Definition
Hypertonic is more, isotonic is equal, and hypotonic is less, and hypertonic fills the blood cells, istonic keeps it equal and mellow, and hypotonic decreases the size.
Term
If object A is hypotonic and B is hypertonic, then what do they contrast?
Definition
A is less, B is more.
