During osmosis

• water moves from high to low concentration

• large or oddly shaped molecules move across a cell membrane

• water moves when energy is used

• proteins are built

Permeable means

• things can pass through

• the concentration levels are different

• it is permanent

• things are stuck

What is the definition of  Selective Permeability?

• The movement of materials across the cell membrane that requires NO ENERGY from the cell.
  
• The movement of materials through (or across) the cell membrane
  
• The ability of the cell membrane to allow some things to pass through while preventing other things from passing through.
• The movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to a area of low concentration 
  

_______ regulates what enters and leaves a cell.

• Cell Membrane

• Nucleus

• Mitochondria

• Cytoplasm

If there is 5 percent water inside a cell and 5 percent water outside a cell

• more water will move inside the cell

• more water will move outside the cell

• There will be no net movement of water, it moves into and out of the cell at the same time.

An animal cell placed in a hypertonic (salty) solution will

• Shrink
• Swell
• Stay the same

Ideally, your cells should be in a(n) _______ solution

• Hypertonic
• Hypotonic
• Isotonic
• Cola
