Turgor
Visking Tubing
Term
The shrivelling of the cell due to water leaving the cell due to
solute differences across the cell membrane
The passive movement of particles from a region of high
concentration to a region of low concentration
Describes a solution whose solute concentration is higher than the
solute concentration inside a cell
Describes a solution whose solute concentration is lower than the
solute concentration inside a cell
The movement of water molecules from a region of high
concentration to a region of low concentration
The movement of molecules that requires no energy
Allows all molecules to pass or diffuse through
When a cell is in a hypertonic environment, the cell will lose
water to its surroundings, shrink, and its plasma membrane will
pull away from the wall
Only allows some molecules to pass through the molecule
The normal rigid state of fullness of a cell as a result of the
pressure of the contents of the cell against the cell wall
Type of synthetic tubing that is partially permeable, allowing only
water and some other small molecules to pass through its pores.
