How are hypertonic solution and hypotonic solutions similar?
In osmosis, the hypertonic solution is one with a higher solute concentration over the semi-permeable membrane and the hypotonic solution is one with a lower solute concentration over the semi-permeable membrane. The similarities between these two is that both contain a solute and both involve water which is essential in osmosis. Also, the semi-permeable membrane plays a very important roll on how the water moves. It moves from the lower solute concentration to the higher solute concentration.
What will happen if a partially permiable membrane is replaced with a non permiable membrane?
If the semi-permeable membrane will change into non-permeable membrane, the items could not enter the cell. Also the osmosis will not occur as it takes place in semi-permeable membrane.
When comparing two solutions the solution with greater concentration is?
It often depends. The one with more solute has a higher concentration of solute than the other. In pertaining to osmosis, the hypotonic (or hypoosmotic) solution has less solute and more water over a semi-permeable membrane where the hyperotonic (or hyperosmotic) solution has more solute and less water over a semi-permeable membrane.
Substances that can pass through cell membranes by diffusion include?
depends on type of membrane 1) semi-permeable membrane - allows only solvent molecule to pass ex. parchment paper 2) permeable membrane - allows both solvent and solute molecules to pass ex. filter paper 3) selectively permeable membrane - allows solvent molecules and some of selected solute molecules to pass ex. plasma membrane
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
What is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.

What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis

What is the process of water moving from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration?
hypertonic

The cell membrane is selectively permeable. What does that mean?
Because plasma membrane allows only certain solute to move into the cell and outside the cell

Is the cell membrane permeable in animal cells?
I assume you mean semi-permerable membrane that is permeable to the solution (water) but not the solute (salt). Osmosis can only occur if the membrane does NOT allow salt to pass through. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low salt concentration to higher salt concentration.
When will the net osmosis rate equal zero?
When the solute concentration on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane is the same.
