Question
In osmosis, due to solute concentration differences, the solute will move from a
higher concentration to a lower concentration.
True or False
Expert Solution

Step 1
- Osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules from the higher concentration to lower concentration through a semipermeable membrane.
- The solvent moves from the region having less solute concentration in to the region having higher solute concentration passing through a semipermeable membrane.

- Create a diagram that demonstrates the difference between tonicity and osmolarity. Be sure to label the new solutions in each condition, draw the changes (if predicted) in cell shape/volume, and use arrows to show the movement of water relative to the cell. Please start with a red blood cell in an isosmotic solution and show what happens to cell shape and water movement when NaCl is added to the solution, or when water is added.arrow_forwardWhich transport mechanism would allow a solute to move from its area of low concentration to its area of high concentration, another words against its concentration gradient? secondary active transport osmosis channel mediated facilitated diffusion carrier mediated facilitated diffusion simple diffusion Aa JO stv A К Proarrow_forwardExplain how osmosis works including the concept of concentration gradientarrow_forward
- A concentration gradient affects the direction that solutes diffuse. Describe how molecules move with respect to concentration.arrow_forwardThis is for osmosis in animal cells.arrow_forwardCotransport is ____________ movement of water down concentration gradient using a protein channel movement of materials against their concentration gradient movement of one substance against, and one substance down their concentration gradients movement of molecules from high concentration to low concentration using no protein channels movement of materials down their concentration gradient using a protein channelarrow_forward
- Explain the major difference between diffusion and osmosis. Include in your answer which type of the molecule is moving for each process, in which direction the molecules in question are moving (low to high or high to low concentrations).arrow_forwardWhich of the following is most likely to induce osmosis if red blood cells are place in a high concentration of it? chloride (Cl-) H2O butane (CH3CH2CH2CH3) CO2arrow_forwardThe concentration of ______ is higher in the intracellular fluid than in fluid surrounding the cell.
