Question Answer
Osmosis movement of water molecules accross a semi-permeable membrane from a region of highwater concentration to a region of low water concentration.
Solvent liquid the dissolved other substance
Solute substance that has been dissolved
Solution mixture of the solvent and solute in a solution
animal cell is in solution that is the same concentration as its cytoplasm water will move in and out through its cell membrane at the same rate
Animal cell is in a solution that is less concentrated than the cell gain water due to osmosis
animal cell is in a solution that is more concentrated than the cell lose water due to osmosis
Amoeba single-celled organism that lives in freshwater pools and ponds
osmoregulation system in amoeba Contractile Vacuole
plant cell has a higher concentration of solutes than its surroundings water moves into the cytoplasm and vacuole
Turgor Pressure pressure in the cytoplasm and vacuole against the cell wall of a plant
cytoplasm of a plant cell has a lower concentration of solutes than the surrounding water moves out of the cell
Plasmolysis loss of water from the cytoplasm and the movement of the cell membrane away from the cell wall
