FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is a Hypotonic Solution?

Back

A solution that has a lower concentration of solutes and a higher concentration of pure water compared to the inside of a cell, causing water to move into the cell.

2.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What happens to a cell in a Hypertonic Solution?

Back

The cell shrinks as water moves out of the cell due to the higher concentration of solutes in the surrounding solution.

3.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Define Isotonic Solution.

Back

A solution that has the same concentration of solutes as the inside of a cell, resulting in no net movement of water.

4.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What occurs when a cell is placed in a Hypotonic Solution?

Back

The cell swells and may burst as water enters the cell.

5.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the effect of a Hypertonic environment on plant cells?

Back

Plant cells become plasmolyzed, losing water and causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall.

6.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

Explain the process of Osmosis.

Back

The movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.

7.

FLASHCARD QUESTION

Front

What is the significance of the Cell Membrane?

Back

The cell membrane controls the movement of substances in and out of the cell, maintaining homeostasis.
