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
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.
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
Osmosis involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of diffusion. In osmosis, water molecules move across the membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration in order to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
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.
The transport mechanism pulls water from an area where there is less solute to an area of more solute?
This is an example of osmosis, a passive transport mechanism where water moves across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in an effort to equalize solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
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 type of membrane is required for osmosis?
A selectively permeable membrane is required for osmosis. This membrane allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the movement of solute particles based on their size and charge.
How are hypertonic 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.
How is osmosis defined?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane. It is a passive process that does not require energy input from the cell.
What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
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 is passage of a solvent through semi permeable membrane called?
The passage of a solvent through a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis occurs when there is a difference in solute concentration between the two sides of the membrane, causing the solvent to move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration in order to equalize the concentrations.
What is the process of water moving from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration?
hypertonic
What phrase best describes osmosis A process by which A the cytoplasm divides B DNA synthesizes C molecules distribute balanced by movement D selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it?
D. Selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
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
When does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs when there is a semi-permeable membrane separating two solutions of different concentrations of solute, causing water molecules to move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
Which type of molecules cross the membrane in osmosis?
Water molecules cross the membrane during osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
