APHY 201 LAB EXAM 1 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Question:
1. how to calculate rate of diffusion in auger plates
Answer:
distance/ time
Question:
2. simple diffusion
Answer:
continual random movement of particles among one another in a liquid or gas
Question:
3. net diffusion
Answer:
measurable movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to lower
concentration until the diffusing substance is uniform.
Question:
4. ficks law
Answer:
concentration diffX-areatemp/distance of diffusion*molecular weight.
Question:
5. the net diffusion of a solvent through a selectively permeable membrane. (Net
diffusion of water)
Answer:
osmosis
, Question:
6. how does the cross sectional area of the diffusion pathway influence the rate of
diffusion?
Answer:
^area ^rate
Question:
7. tonicity
Answer:
The ability of a solution to cause a cell within it to gain or lose water
Question:
8. osmotically active particles
Answer:
solutes that either do not diffuse or do so with difficulty through a membrane,
Question:
9. solutions containing a higher concentration of osmotically active particles than
blood plasma are?
Answer:
hypertonic
Question:
10. solutions containing a lower concentration of osmotically active particles than
blood plasma are?
Answer:
hypotonic
