What happens to a higher concentration of dissolved molecules on one side of a cell membrane during the process of diffusion?
the side of the cell membrane with the higher molecule concentration moves molecules to areas of lower concentration during diffusion until an equilibrium is reached between both sides of the membrane.
When solute concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane it is?
Isotonic
What is the state a substance is in when the concentration of the substance is the same on both sides of a cell membrane?
isotonic
What is one way osmosis and diffusion are similar?
The similarity is that they both involve the movement of molecules between a membrane. In osmosis, water diffuses through a semi-permeable membrane without energy due to a difference in solute concentration between sides. In active transport, energy is used by the organism to "push" molecules through ports in the membrane, regardless of solute concentration.
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
If the concentrationof molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same the molecules will?
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of a semi permeable membrane are the same, there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, the system is at a state of equilibrium and the molecules remain static
When the concentration on molecules on both sides on the membrane the molecules will?
Osmosis only occurs when the concentration of solutions are different when separated by a membrane. If both solutions are of the same concentration, Osmosis will not occur, so there will be no change.
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane is the same the molecules will?
reach dynamic equilibrium. Answer : move across the membrane in both directions (equilibrium).
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same (equilibrium) the molecules will?
reach dynamic equilibrium. Answer : move across the membrane in both directions (equilibrium).
When the molecules on both sides of a cell membrane are in equilibrium what will the molecules do?
If the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, nothing will happen to the molecules. Osmosis only occurs when there is an imbalance of the molecules across the cell membrane.
What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
What directions do molecules move if the concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane?
they should move neither way. Rather, some molecules will move either side, but the concentration will stay the same
Is it from high concentration to low that particles move across a membrane move?
Yes. It is called Osmosis. Particles move across the membrane in order to balance the concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. Since the membrane tends to block the larger particles, its the smaller molecules that move, so what happens across membranes is that the motion (of say water) is from low concentration toward higher - but the result is to even the concentration on both sides of the membrane, Pure diffusion is always from higher concentration to lower.

How is osmosis related to water?
Osmosis is when water molecules pass through a membrane. For example, if there is more salt outside a cell then inside it, the process of osmosis transports water molecules outside the cell to equalize the concentration of salt. WordNet's definition: diffusion of molecules through a semipermeable membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration until the concentration on both sides is equal
What type of solution will have the same concentration on both sides of the cell membrane?
Isotonic.
