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 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.
What is it called When the concentrate of solute and solvent are equal on both sides of the membrane?
isotonic
When two solvents are separated by a semipermeable membrane water flows from low solute concentrations to high solute concentrations. What would happen if external pressure is applied to the solution?
"Water ALWAYS follows the salt" or to put it another way, it will try to make the two sides have equal amounts of water. The water will go where there are more solute particles. Water easily passes from one side to the other by simple osmosis.
Osmotic pressure is created by the presence in a fluid of small difusible moleules that easily move through the capillary membrane?
Osmotic pressure is the force exerted by the movement of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This movement equalizes the concentration on both sides of the membrane. The osmotic pressure is directly proportional to the concentration of solute particles in the fluid.
What best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
What is it called when the concentration of solute and solvent are equal on both sides of the membrane?
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
Where and when does osmosis occur?
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 .
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
When will the net osmosis rate equal zero?
When the solute concentration on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane is the same.
What sentence best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane.
What is a passive tranport of water by diffusion?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane so there will be an equal concentration of solute and water on both sides of the membrane.
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.
What is the of definition omasis and an exsample?
movement of a solvent (as water) through a semipermeable membrane (as a living cell) into a solution of higher solute concentration that tends to equilize the concentration of solute on the two sides of the membrane.
What is it called When the concentrate of solute and solvent are equal on both sides of the membrane?
isotonic
Osmosis is a type of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, until the concentration of fluids on both sides of the membrane is equivalent.
