What is semi-permeable
The movement of all molecules from high concentration to low concentration.
What is diffusion?
This solution has an equal number of solutes inside and outside the cell, so water travels in and out of the cell at equal rates.
What is isotonic?
What organelle makes lipids for the cell membrane?
What is the smooth ER?
Diffusion of water- water traveling in and out of the cell membrane.
What is osmosis?
Solution with high solute concentrations on the outside of the cell and therefore MORE water inside the cell- m water travels outside the cell and so the cell shrinks.
What is hypertonic?
Solution with a low solute concentration on the outside, and therefore more water on the outside- so water travels into the cell making the cell swell.
What is hypotonic?
Why is the cell membrane called a phospho-lipid bi-layer?
What is because it is made of phophate and lipids and has two layers.
These size molecules move easily through a cell membrane.
What are small?
After diffusion or osmosis a cell will be in this state... balanced and stable like a good HOME.
What is homeostasis?
