What is the difference between an isotonic solution and equilibrium?
equilibrium is reaching that state of equal concentration. isotonic is how you describe the cell that has equal concentration.
What is simple diffusion of water through a membrane called?
Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.
How does a cell each equilibrium?
Molecules tend to travel from a concentration from high to low. A cell will reach equilibrium when the concentration gradient has become equal on both sides of a cell (inner and outer membrane). A cell will reach what is called "dynamic equilibrium" when the concentration gradient of a cell is equal, but molecules still move back and forth in the same proportions.
What effect does diffusion have on the concentration of substances on either side of a membrane?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. If no other factors are involved, the concentration in the higher region will fall and the concentration in the lower region will rise until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane. Diffusion will continue, but on average equal numbers of particles will diffuse in both directions during equal periods of time. This is called a dynamic equilibrium. For a basic introduction to diffusion see: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/gcsebitesize/biology/cellprocesses/2diffusionandosmosisrev2.shtml For more detail see: http://www.blobs.org/science/article.php?article=20
What is a differences in concentration called?
concentration gradient
When the concentration of external medium is equal to the concentration of internal medium of cell is called?
isotonic
What are lines connecting points of equal chemical concentration called?
B
What kind of environments causes water to enter or leave the cell?
Water Movement across a cell membrane is called Osmosis. And it is dependent on the concentration of ions on each side of the cell membrane. If the concentration is higher on the inside of the cell water rushes in to dilute the ion concentration and get it to equal the outside concentration of ions and this is called hypotonic. If the concentration is higher outside the cell water will rush out of the cell to help dilute the concentration outside the cell and get the two concentrations to become equal and is called hypertonic. If the concentration is equal in both outside and inside the cell there will be no water movement and is called isotonic. Osmosis
What is it called when the concentration of solute and solvent are equal on both sides of the membrane?
isotonic
What is Equal movement of molecules called?
The equal movement of molecules would be describing an "isotonic" state, where concentration gradients are equal, and a state of equilibrium is created.
What is isotonic concentration?
Isotonic concentration is when the concentration of soletutes inside and outside of the cell are equal in concentration
What of the following characterizes reaction at equilibrium?
The reactants concentration is equal to products concentration.
The difference in concentration of a substance across space is called a?
it is called a concentration gradient.

What is simple diffusion of water through a membrane called?

What was the concentration camp in Dachau called?
It was called the Dachau concentration camp.
