Document Summary

Effects of osmosis on water balance: permeable membrane does not allow for large molecules of a solute to pass through but water molecules are able to, this allows for an equilibrium through change in concentration moving from areas of low to high, only free water can diffuse (water molecules clustered around hydrophilic solute molecules will not detach) Water balance of cells without walls: tonicity: the ability of a surrounding solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water, depends on concentration of nonpenetrating solutes (cannot cross membrane, high concentration of nonpenetrating solutes = water leaves cell nd vice versa.
