Osmosis - As Level

Front

Water potential is measured in units of kPa (kilopascals).

Back

True

Front

Adding solute to a solution increases its water potential.

Back

False

Front

Pure water has the highest water potential, which is defined as 0 kPa.

Back

True

Front

During osmosis, water moves from areas of lower water potential to areas of higher water potential.

Back

False

Front

Does osmosis require energy from ATP to occur?

Back

False

Front

If a solution has a water potential of -800 kPa, it has a higher solute concentration than a solution with a water potential of -300 kPa.

Back

True

Front

Osmosis only occurs when a selectively permeable membrane is present.

Back

True

Front

Water potential is influenced by both solute concentration and pressure.

Back

True

Front

When a cell with a water potential of -500 kPa is placed in a solution with a water potential of -200 kPa, water will move into the cell.

Back

True

Front

A solution with a high solute concentration has a high water potential.

Back

False
