Osmosis Review
The cell membrane separates the internal cell
solution from the exterior cell solution.
Solution
Solution
Cell Membrane consists of the lipid
bilayer, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Water can pass
right through
lipid bilayer
What is a solution?
A mixture of two or more substances.
A solution consists of a solute and a solvent.
A salt water solution…
• Is salt the solute or the solvent?
– Solute
• Is water the solute or the solvent?
– Solvent
• What does the solute do?
– Gets dissolved
• What does the solvent do?
– Does the dissolving
A Salt Water

Solvent
(water)
Cell Membrane consists of the lipid
bilayer, carbohydrates, and proteins.
Water can pass
right through
lipid bilayer
The solute can’t fit through the membrane but the water
can. The water moves through to make both sides’
concentrations at a state of equilibrium.
