Movements of molecules:lab assessment

Cards (4)

  • What is osmosis?
    movement of water molecules from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semi-permeable membrane
  • What is hypertonic?
    A solution with a higher concentration of solutes compared to another solution. (a solution with more dissolved stuff compared to another)
  • What is hypotonic?
    A solution with a lower solute concentration than another solution (a solution with less stuff dissolved inside it compared to another)
  • What is crenation?
    the process where cells shrink due to water loss
