- 6. More water than solute
- 8. More solute than water
- 10. One of the factors affecting rate of diffusion.
- 11. Net movement of particles from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration
- 13. The structure that prevents plant cells from bursting when placed in a hypotonic solution
- 16. A molecule that can pass through the cell membrane quite easily
- 17. This type of energy makes the process of diffusion "free"
- 18. A broken cell
Down
- 2. Used to describe a plant cell that has lost too much water.
- 3. Red blood cell that has lost water
- 7. A solution with the same amount of water and solutes as the cells
- 9. A special form of diffusion
- 12. __________ moves from alveoli to blood capillaries
- 14. A cell with a lot of water
