Diffusion – the natural motion
Osmosis – Water and Semipermeable Membranes
Osmosis Practice 1. A cell (with no dye in it) is in a solution of 10% dye molecule. Draw the cell and show with labeled arrows the direction of the net movement of water molecules. b. Is the solution hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic?
Osmosis Practice 2. A cell contains 3% carbon dioxide that can cross the cell’s membrane and is put into a solution of 2% carbon dioxide. Draw the cell and show with labeled arrows the direction of the net movement of molecules. b. Is the solution hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic?
Osmosis Practice 3. A plant cell contains 1. 5% potassium (K+). You put it into a solution of 1. 5% potassium. Draw the cell and show with labeled arrows the direction of the net movement of water molecules. b. Is the solution hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic?
Osmosis Practice 4. A patient in a hospital needs a blood transfusion, but an absent minded nurse accidentally gives the patient pure water. Draw a red blood cell in its new, partially water environment and show arrows indicating the movement of water across the cell membrane. b. Is the solution hypotonic, isotonic, or hypertonic?
