Diffusion
49
Diffusion factors are:
Magnitude of the Concentration Difference
Size & Shape
Temperature
50
Rate of diffusion
# of diffusing molecules passing through the membrane per unit time
51
is the movement of a SOLVENT across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to a higher solute concentration
OSMOSIS
52
Movement stops when the two solutions reach equal concentration or when pressure is applied to the liquid on the stronger solution side of the membrane
OSMOSIS
53
a solution having the same osmotic pressure as some other solution, especially one in a cell or a body fluid
Isotonic Solution
54
solution having a lower osmotic pressure than a particular fluid, typically a body fluid or intracellular fluid
Hypotonic Solution
55
a solution with higher osmotic pressure than another solution, one in which there is a greater concentration or number of solute particles outside a membrane than there are inside it
Hypertonic Solution
56
branched chain polymer of D-glucose units
AMYLOPECTIN
57
straight-chain polymer of D-glucose units
AMYLOSE
58
A property that is due to the tendency of fluid surface to contract an behave as if it is enclosed in an elastic membrane
SURFACE TENSION
59
The phenomenon is caused by cohesion bet. molecules at the surface of the liquid. These molecules don't have similar molecules above them to form cohesive bonds with, they form stronger bonds with those around and below them. The result of the strong cohesion is the film-like membrane
SURFACE TENSION
60
TRUE OR FALSE

Pure water has significantly high surface tension.
TRUE
61
The soap has caused the tension level to drop closer to the level of resistance found in the bulk of the water
