Osmosis and Diffusion
Terms : Hide Images [1]
| 10199065 | Diffusion | the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration of those molecules to an area of lower concentration | |
| 10199066 | Osmosis | a special case of diffusion where water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential | |
| 10199067 | Permeable Membrane | a membrane that allows for diffusion of certain solutes and water | |
| 10199068 | Active Transport | uses energy from ATP to move substances throguh the cell membrane against a concentration gradient, from regions of low to higher concentrations | |
| 10199069 | Isotonic | when two solutions have the same concentrations of solutes | |
| 10199070 | Hypertonic | a solution with more solute | |
| 10199071 | Hypotonic | solution with less solute | |
| 10199306 | Water Potential | measure of free energy of water in a solution |
