Solution | The mixture of two or more substances |
Solvent | A substance that is dissolving another substance. (water) |
Solute | A substance that is being dissolved. (sugar) |
Concentration | The amount of a substance being dissolved compared to the amount of substance that is doing the dissolving |
Equilibrium | Where concentrations of particles are equal both inside and outside the cell |
Diffusion | The movement of particles from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration |
Osmosis | the movement of water from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration |
Selectively Permeable | The characteristic of a membrane that allows certain substances in and out but not all substances |
Passive Transport | The movement of molecules without the need of energy |
Hypertoic Solution | a cell with more water inside the cell than out and will lose, shrink or shrivel, water due to equilibrium |
Hypotonic | A cell with less water inside the cell than out and will absorb water, swell, due to equilibrium |
Isotonic | A cell that has equal concentrations of water inside and outside the cell |
Active Transport | The movement of molecules with the need of energy |
