Explain the effects on plant cells of immersing them in solutions of different concentrations by using the terms: turgid, turgor pressure, plasmolysis, flaccid

1 Answer
Describe osmosis as the net movement of water molecules from a region of higher water potential (dilute solution) to a region of lower water potential (concentrated solution), through a partially permeable membrane

1 Answer
State that plants are supported by the pressure of water inside the cells pressing outwards on the cell wall

1 Answer
Investigate and describe the effects on plant tissues of immersing them in solutions of different concentrations

1 Answer
State that water moves into and out of cells by osmosis through the cell membrane

1 Answer
State that water diffuses through partially permeable membranes by osmosis

1 Answer
Describe the importance of diffusion of gases and solutes in living organisms

1 Answer
State that some substances move into and out of cells by diffusion through the cell membrane

1 Answer
State that the energy for diffusion comes from the kinetic energy of random movement of molecules and ions

1 Answer
Describe diffusion as the net movement of particles from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration (i.e. down a concentration gradient), as a result of their random movement
