Best Answer

The more concentrated solution is called "hypertonic".

Think of when you went to elementary school and there was always that extremely hyper, almost A.D.D. child in your class. So, to help your remember, think of the kid because hypertonic means "above strength." Hope that helped. :]

A solution with a high concentration of non-permeating solutes is called?

Hypertonic solution


What is it called when water molecules move from a low concentration of solutions to a high concentration of solutes?

Osmosis. A solution with a low concentration of solutes would have a higher concentration of water than a solution with a high concentration of solutes. So in this case, water is moving from a higher concentration of water to a lower concentration of water, which is osmosis.


Do hypotonic solutions have high solute and high water compared to another solution?

hypotonic is the world for a lower concentration of solutes. it just depends on what side of the membrane you are referring to. whatever side has more solutes = hyper, whatever side has less = hypo.


What is the eventual result of diffusion describe concentration prior to and at this point?

The eventual result of diffusion is equilibrium. The concentrations prior to this point would be uneven. The solutes then diffuse from areas of high solute concentration to areas of low solute concentration. After diffusion, at equilibrium, the concentration will be even in different areas.


What does osmosis have to do with high concentrations of fertilizer salts in soils damaging plants?

Movement to meet higher over lower priority needs describes the role of osmosis in high concentrations of fertilizer salts in soils damaging plants. Solutes such as salts in the soil and water in plants and soils move from areas of high concentrations and volumes to lower. Salt in the soil will invade a plant's permeable roots from which water will be pulled into the soil in an attempt to equal concentrations and volumes, to the detriment of plants and soil food web members.

When does osmosis occur?

When two solutions, with different concentrations are separated by a semi permeable membrane. The flow will be from high concentration to low.


What is the process in which particles move through a membrane from a region oflow concertration to a region of high concertration?

This process is known as diffusion. Under circumstances of a permeable membrane, solutes will always flow from areas of higher concentrations to lower concentrations until an equilibrium is established

Is the movement of water to try to balance concentrations?

Osmosis, which is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from where it is in high concentration to where it is in lower concentration. The purpose of osmosis is to equalize the concentration of solutes inside a cell and outside a cell.


Which organelle would you expect to be the most highly concentrated in heart muscle cells?

Mitochondria as the heart requires a lot of energy.


Why glucose solution cannot conduct electricity?

Glucose does not dissociate into charged ions in water solution, and the only water solutions with high conductivity are those with substantial concentrations of charged ions, such as the solutions of most salts, acids, and bases.


If it is possible more than 14 pH then how to measure?

Yes, though measurement is not easily done (pH-potentiometry) in concentrated alkali solution. The pH can be greater than 14 or lower than 0 in solutions with very high concentrations of [OH]- or [H]+ (> 1.0 M). And it isn't that important to know how much over 14 or under 0, is it?
