***Remember that solutes are things that are dissolved and solvents are things that do
the dissolving.
1. Is diffusion active or passive transport of particles across
the cell membrane? Passive transport
2. In the very beginning, how does the concentration of the blue particles on side A compare to that
of side B?
The particles move faster on side A than in side B

OSMOSIS
9. What does the dashed line in the beaker separating the two
sides represent? A pore
10. Why are they assuming the large molecules will stay on their own side of the membrane?
The large molecules are too big to move across the membrane.
11. Because molecules will move from one side to another to come to an equilibrium, or balance of
concentration, the water moves from side B to side A, so the water level on side A goes down.
12. In living things, cells must be in an Isotonic solution where water leaves and enters the cell at the
same time
