Document Summary
Osmosis : is the diffusion of water / the movement of water . Osmosis: the tendency of water to move through a membrane from an area of lower concentration into an area of higher concentration solution, diluting it, until there is equal concentrations of fluid on both sides of the cell membrane. Principles of osmosis: osmosis is the diffusion of water across a differentially permeable membrane, water moves from low concentration of a solute to high concentration of a solute, dissolved substances decrease the amount of free water molecules. Isotonic is a solution of equal concentration to another solution: the same, tq: a cell is placed into a isotonic environment. Or the inside of the cell is isotonic to the outside of the cell what happens : 3__( 3 , the mass of the cell will not change, it"s the same.
