Osmosis

?
What is Osmosis?
Osmosis is the net movement of water particles into and out of the cell, across a partially membrane, from a high concentration to a low concentration.

What is Diffusion?
Diffusion is the net movement of particles of solution or gas from a high concentration to a low concentration.

What is the cytoplasm?
The Cytoplasm is a liquid gel and is where most chemical reactions needed for life takeplace.
3 of 11
What is the cytoplasm made of?
The cytoplasm of a cell is made up of chemicals dissolved in water inside a partially membrane.
4 of 11
What does the cytoplasm contain?
The cytoplasm contains concentrated solutions of salt and sugar.
5 of 11
Are solutions inside cells separated from solutions outside cells,and what by?
YES, By the cell membraane
6 of 11
What is a concentrated solution?
A solution with less water
7 of 11
What is a dilute solution?
A concentration with plenty of water
8 of 11
If in a animal cell the cytoplasm become concentrated because it uses up water in its chemical reactions then what happens, and what problem will be caused?
More water immediately moves into the cells by osmosis. A problem which can occur is the cell will swell and may burst open.
9 of 11
If in a animal cell the cytoplasm becomes dilute then what happens, and how may this cause a problem??
Water leaves from the cell by Osmosis and this may be a problem because the cytoplasm will shrivel so it cant survive.

What do plants rely on to support their stems and leaves?
