| Question | Answer |
| Define osmosis | diffusion of water |
| Define hypotonic solution | a lower concentration in the solution, making the cell swell |
| Define hypertonic solution | a higher concentration in the solution, making the cell shrivel |
| Define isotonic solution | equal on both sides of the membrane |
| When a cell is in a hypotonic solution, how will water molecules move? | The water rushes into the cell and lowers the concentration in the cell. |
| When a cell is in a hypertonic solution, how will water molecules move? | goes out so concentration will rise |
| When a cell is in an isotonic solution, how will water molecules move? | move equally in and out |
| Explain how hypotonic and hypertonic solutions can make a plant rigid and firm or make it wilt. | Hypotonic makes it swell=rigid and firm, hypertonic does the opposite and makes it wilt |
| Osmosis is a form of passive transport. Explain how facilitated diffusion, which is another form of passive transport, is different from osmosis. | no energy is used, but a protein facilitates, or helps, the transport to occur |
