osmosis

Cards (10)

  • Osmosis is a special case of diffusion
  • Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules across a fully permeable membrane
    False
  • A solution with more solute particles has a higher water concentration
    False
  • What is the definition of osmosis?
    Diffusion of water molecules
  • Water concentration refers to the amount of water compared to solutes
  • The proportion of water compared to solutes determines water concentration
  • Water moves from an area of lower water concentration to higher water concentration during osmosis
    False
  • Which beaker has a higher water concentration if one has one solute particle and the other has three?
    Beaker with one solute
  • What type of membrane is required for osmosis?
    Partially permeable
  • Water particles move from the outside of the cell to the inside when there is a water concentration gradient
