Isotonic
If there is more solute inside a membrane than outside solute particles will move across the membrane to the?
equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane through passive diffusion.
Which side of a selectively permeable membrane does osmosis exert a pressure?
It exerts pressure on the side with a higher concentration of water.
What is the tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into area at higher solute concentration?
The tendency of a solvent to travel across a semipermeable membrane into an area with a higher solute concentration is called osmosis. It occurs in an attempt to equalize the concentration of solute on both sides of the membrane.
How could you prove or disprove that a specific solute was able to diffuse through w semipermeable membrane?
To prove that a specific solute can diffuse through a semipermeable membrane, you could set up an experiment where the solute is placed on one side of the membrane, and a solution without the solute is on the other side. Over time, you would measure the concentration of the solute on both sides of the membrane. If the concentration increases on the side without the solute, it indicates that diffusion has occurred. To disprove diffusion, you would find that the concentration remains unchanged on the opposing side, suggesting that the solute cannot pass through the membrane.
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
. 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
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.
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.
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 best describes a cell that is isotonic for a substance?
The solute concentration is equal on both sides of the cell membrane
What is the direction of osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water. The direction of water movement (osmosis) is from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to one of low water concentration (high solute concentration). For example, if a semipermeable membrane separates a 1M solution of sucrose from a 0.1 M solution of sucrose, the water will move from the side with 0.1 M to the side with 1 M sucrose. This is in an attempt to equalize the concentrations of solute on both sides.
WHAT DRIVES THE MOVEMENT FOR OSMOSIS?
Osmosis is driven by a concentration gradient, where solvent molecules move from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. This process seeks to equalize the concentration of solute particles on both sides of the membrane, ultimately balancing the solution.
How does the movement of water occur in a solution where water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration?
In a solution, water moves from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a process called osmosis. This movement occurs to balance the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane, creating an equilibrium.
Does Water always moves from a hypertonic solution into a hypotonic one?
Yes, water will always move from a hypertonic solution (higher solute concentration) to a hypotonic solution (lower solute concentration) in an attempt to equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane. This process is known as osmosis.
What conditions are necessary for osmosis to take place?
Osmosis occurs when there is a semi-permeable membrane separating a solution into regions of different solute concentrations. Water molecules move from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration, in an attempt to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
When solute concentration is equal on both sides of a membrane it is?
Isotonic
