Across
- 2. A solution with a lower solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell.
- 3. A membrane that allows certain molecules to pass through while blocking others.
- 4. The bursting of an animal cell when placed in an extreme hypotonic solution.
- 9. The condition of a plant cell when there is no pressure potential; it becomes limp.
- 11. The state of a plant cell when high pressure potential makes it firm and rigid.
- 13. The physical pressure exerted by the cell wall against the expanding cell contents.
- 15. The water potential of pure water at atmospheric pressure and standard temperature.
- 16. A substance that is dissolved in a solvent to form a solution.
- 18. The sign of solute potential because adding solutes always lowers water potential.
- 19. A process that does not require the expenditure of ATP by the cell.
Down
- 1. An organelle in protists that pumps out excess water to prevent lysis.
- 5. The shrinkage of the cytoplasm away from the cell wall in a hypertonic solution.
- 6. A solution with the same solute concentration as the cytoplasm of the cell.
- 7. The measure of the relative tendency of water to move from one area to another.
- 8. The component of water potential that is due to the presence of dissolved substances.
- 10. The shriveling of an animal cell when placed in a hypertonic solution.
- 12. The passive movement of water molecules from high water potential to low water potential.
- 14. The state reached when the water potential inside and outside the cell is equal.
- 17. A solution with a higher solute concentration than the cytoplasm of the cell.
