| 7978921699 | Water Potential | Measure of how freely water molecules can move | 0 | |
| 7978921700 | Law of Thermodynamics | Water moves from regions of high energy to low energy | 1 | |
| 7978921701 | Osmosis | Water diffuses from areas of high concentrations to low concentrations | 2 | |
| 7978921702 | Negative Water Potential | __________________________________ indicates a decrease in water potential as water molecules move less freely due to higher concentrations of solute | 3 | |
| 7978921703 | Equilibrium | Zero water potential indicates ___________________ | 4 | |
| 7978921704 | Transpiration | ____________ occurs due to variations in water potential throughout the plant | 5 | |
| 7978921705 | Hypotonic | When water diffuses into a plant cell when it is placed in a solution of higher water potential than inside it, the cell contents will expand, pushing against the cell wall, and the cell wall will become turgid |  | 6 |
| 7978921706 | Hypertonic | If a plant cell is placed in a solution of lower water potential, water will diffuse out, causing the cytoplasm to shrink and become flaccid. If enough water leaves, the cytoplasm pulls from the cell wall, and the cell becomes plasmolysed |  | 7 |
| 7978921707 | Isotonic | Concentration of solutes is equal inside and outside the cell, so water moves across the membrane in both directions maintaining cell size |  | 8 |
| 7978921708 | Animal Cells | ___________________________ do not have cell walls, so if an animal cell expands excessively the cell will burst open and become haemolysed | 9 |
