Osmosis

Osmosis

In which direction does water move during osmosis?

1. In both directions simultaneously
2. From an area of low water concentration to an area of high water concentration
3. It depends on the type of membrane
4. From an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration

What is the process by which water moves through a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration?

1. Diffusion
2. Active transport
3. Osmosis
4. Facilitated diffusion

What type of solution causes a cell to shrink due to water leaving the cell through osmosis?

1. Hypertrophic
2. Hypertonic
3. Hypotonic
4. Isotonic

Which of the following is NOT a factor affecting the rate of osmosis?

1. Temperature
2. Thickness of the membrane
3. Surface area of the membrane
4. Concentration gradient

What will happen to a plant cell placed in a hypotonic solution?

1. It will burst
2. It will become turgid
3. It will shrink
4. No change will occur
