Osmosis puzzle
Across
- 1. A membrane that will allow certain molecules or ions to pass through it by diffusion and occasionally specialized "facilitated diffusion"
- 5. Diffusion Molecules diffuse across the plasma membrane with assistance from membrane proteins, such as channels and carriers.
- 10. A process by which cells absorb external material by engulfing it with the cell membrane.
- 11. Occurs when a cell bursts due to an osmotic imbalance that has caused excess water to diffuse into the cell.
- 14. Movement of water molecules from a solution with a high concentration of water molecules
- 15. A substance that can be dissolved into a solution by a solventSolvent
Down
- 2. The fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane
- 3. A typical response of plant cells exposed to hyperosmotic stress.
- 4. Any external solution that has a high solute concentration and low water concentration compared to body fluids.
- 6. The movement of individual molecules of a substance
- 7. A liquid that is able to dissolve a solid.
- 8. Any external solution that has a low solute concentration and high water concentration compared to body fluids
- 9. The state in which all forces acting on the body are balanced with an equal and opposite force.
- 12. Any external solution that has the same solute concentration and water concentration compared to body fluids.
- 13. Gradient Occurs when the concentration of particles is higher in one area than another
