Osmosis

• What process is defined as the diffusion of water movement?

  Osmosis
• During osmosis, water moves from which type of concentration area?

  High concentration of water molecules
• During osmosis, water moves to which type of concentration area?

  Low concentration of water molecules
• What happens if too much water enters an animal cell?

  It will swell
• What happens if not enough water enters an animal cell?

  It will shrink
• If an external solution is more dilute, what will happen to the cell?

  Water will move in, cell swells
• What term describes a plant cell that has swelled due to water intake?

  Turgid
• What happens if the external solution has the same concentration as inside the cell?

  Water moves in and out
• What term describes a cell lacking water?

  Flaccid
• What happens if the external solution is less dilute?

  Water will move out of cell
• What process occurs when the cell membrane moves away from the cell wall due to water loss?

  Plasmolysis
• What eventually happens to a cell that undergoes plasmolysis?

  It will die
• In a hypotonic solution, how does water move in relation to the cell?

  Water moves into the cell
• In an isotonic solution, how does water move in relation to the cell?

  There is no net water movement
• In a hypertonic solution, how does water move in relation to the cell?

  Water moves out of the cell
