2. REVIEW of Passive Transport
Osmosis is the movement of water into and out of the cell membrane. It is a SPECIAL KIND of Diffusion.
Water will move from an area of HIGH water concentration to an area of LOW water concentration on its own with NO ENERGY!
The 3 types of Osmosis are known as the types of TONICITY.

3. Tonicity
Describes the ability of a solution to cause a cell to gain or lose water. It depends on the concentration of a solute.

4. Solutions
Remember that a solute is dissolved into a solvent to make a solution.
Solute Solvent  Solution

5. Types of Solutions
There are 3 types of solutions. This is based on a comparison of the concentration of solute (the part being dissolved) in each.
Imagine placing a cell into a solution and comparing the concentrations of solute in both.

6. In each of the following solutions, osmosis takes place
In each of the following solutions, osmosis takes place. Remember this rule: WATER FOLLOWS SOLUTE = SOLUTE SUCKS

7. Remember: Solute Sucks draw and label the pics in your IAN

8. Types of Solutions
1) Isotonic Solution – The concentration of solute outside is equal to the concentration inside the cell. Water is moving = into and outside of the cell, EQUALLY! Draw and label the pics.
Normal in animal cells
Solution
Cell
Flaccid (not firm)
in plants

9. Types of Solutions
2) Hypotonic Solution – HIGH concentration of solute inside the cell, LOW concentration of solute outside the cell . Water will follow the solute and move into the cell to try and create a balance, equilibrium, homeostasis. The cell will swell up.
An animal cell will undergo cytolysis=lysed=burst
(draw, label pics)
A plant cell has a cell wall so it will not burst, but will be come very TURGID, they swell and are firm, Normal for plants.
Cell

10. Types of Solutions
3) Hypertonic Solution – LOW concentration of solute in the cell and HIGH concentration of solute outside the cell. Water will move out of the cell to try and balance the concentrations so the cell will shrivel.
An animal cell will undergo crenation (shriveling)
(draw, label pics)
A plant cell has a cell wall that remains the same but the cytoplasm will shrivel inside the cell membrane, which is called plasmolysis (plasmolyzed).
Cell

11. What are the parts of a solution?
Solute and Solvent

12. Which way does water move in an isotonic solution?
IN and OUT of the cell because it is BALANCED

13. Which way will water move during osmosis? What is the rule?
Water moves TOWARDS Solute. SOLUTE SUCKS!

14. Inside the cell; Water will go INTO the cell.
In a hypotonic solution, where is the higher concentration of solute? (inside or outside of the cell?) Which way will water move?
Inside the cell; Water will go INTO the cell.

15. Outside the cell; Water will go OUT of the cell.
In a hypertonic solution, where is the higher concentration of solute? Which way will water move?
Outside the cell; Water will go OUT of the cell.

16. Types of Solutions
flaccid
