1
Movement of Molecules
  • Osmosis & Diffusion
2
Terms to Know
  • Mixture - a substance consisting of two or more substances mixed together (not in fixed proportions and not with chemical bonding)
  • Homogeneous - describes a sample of matter that has uniform characteristics throughout
  • Heterogeneous - describes a sample of matter that has parts with different compositions
3
Terms to Know

  • Solution - a homogeneous mixture of two or more substances; frequently (but not necessarily) a liquid solution
  • Solute -a substance that is dissolved in another substance, thus forming a solution
  • Solvent -a substance that dissolves other substances, thus forming a solution
4
Terms to Know
  • Concentration - measure of how much of a given substance there is mixed with another substance; the number of molecules of a substance in a given volume
  • Concentration Gradient - change in the concentration of a substance from one area to another.
5
Terms to Know
  • Hypotonic – The solution on one side of a membrane where the solute concentration is less than on the other side. Hypotonic Solutions contain a low concentration of solute relative to another solution.
  • Hypertonic – The solution on one side of a membrane where the solute concentration is greater than on the other side. Hypertonic Solutions contain a high concentration of solute relative to another solution.
6
Terms to Know
  • Isotonic - Isotonic Solutions contain the same concentration of solute as an another solution

8
Terms to Know
  • Diffusion – the movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration; The process where molecules spread out to form an even concentration

10
Terms to Know
  • Osmosis – the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane; the movement of a substance dissolved in a solution with a lower concentration through a membrane to a solution with a higher concentration
  • Selectively permeable - a barrier that allows some chemicals to pass but not others. The cell membrane is such a barrier.
