Biology Unit 2 FlashCards
, Define Diffusion: Movement of a substance
from an area of high concentration
Diffusion to an area of low concentration.
, Osmosis: The diffusion of water
Define from a dilute solution to a more
concentrated solution through a
Osmosis selectively permeable membrane,
until there is an equal amount of
water molecules in each area.
, What happens
to an animal When water moves into an animal
cell when
cell, the cell increases in volume,
stretching the cell membrane until it
placed in pure
splits & bursts.
