What else can I help you with?
Which type of solution will have the same solute concentration on both sides of the cell membrane?
when net solute concentrations are equal on both sides of a semi permeable membrane its called isotonic
How does osmosis happen?
Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane
What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which water moves from a solution containing a low concentration of solute to what kind of solution?
a solution containing a high concentration of solute
In osmosis does a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher solution concentration to an area of lower solution concentration?
No, in osmosis the solvent (usually water) moves from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane in an attempt to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
When solute concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane it is?
Isotonic
Which side of a selectively permeable membrane does osmosis exert a pressure?
It exerts pressure on the side with a higher concentration of water.
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane in which water moves from a solution containing a low concentration of solute to what kind of solution?
Osmosis occurs when water moves from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration. This is due to the tendency of water to move from an area of high concentration (low solute) to an area of low concentration (high solute) in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
How does water move from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution?
Water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement helps to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
Where will water move during osmosis?
Water moves through the membrane towards the side that has a higher dissolved solute concentration. Another way to look at it is that the water moves in the direction that results in equal concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
What will molecules do when the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane are the same?
They will do nothing.
What is the diffusion of water of another solvent from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a membrane that is permeable to the solvent?
This process is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules, such as water, from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. It helps to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane.
