diffusion and osmosis

What is diffusion?

Diffusion is movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low concentration

Which cellular structure is described as partially permeable and controls the movement of water during osmosis?

Which process requires a partially permeable membrane?

Osmosis requires a partially permeable membrane

What moves during osmosis ?

Water molecules

A cell is placed in pure water what happens to the cell?

It gains water as water moves into the cell by osmosis

during osmosis, water moves from ?

High solute concentration to low solute concentration

Why are root hair cells adapted for osmosis?

They have large surface area to absorb water

A red blood cell placed in a very concentrated salt solution will ?

It will shrink as water leaves the cell by osmosis
