Membrane Protein Quiz

Osmosis is the diffusion of water

-When water moves from an area of high concentration to low concentration

Some words we need to know:

-Solvent-Usually water-the substance there is more of. the liquid doing the dissolving.

-Solute-The other substance in the mixture of the solvent and the solute. Usually the stuff mixed in with water

-Hypertonic- having less water (More pressure)

-Hypotonic- having more water (Less pressure)

-Isotonic- having an even amount (Same pressure)

-Equilibrium- having same pressure- isotonic

As an extra resource here is the Khan Academy Video on Osmosis

For your quiz be able to label a jar as hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic, and be able to say which direction the water will travel.

-Active Transport (Requires energy)

-Endocytosis (When cells engulf things)

-Pinocytosis (When a cell engulfs a large drop of water)

-Phagocytosis (When a cell eats)

-Exocytosis (When a cell sends things outside)
