Essential Questions
! What is osmosis? What is a
solute? What is a solvent? What
is a solution? What does semi-
permeable mean?
! Where does water always flow?
High solute to low solute or low
solute to high solute?
! What happens to water in a
isotonic solution (equal in and
out, moves into cell, moves out
of cell)? What is its effect of the
cell (nothing, swell/burst/lyse,
shrink/crenate).
! What happens to water in an
hypotonic solution (equal in and
out, moves into cell, moves out
of cell)? What is its effect of the
cell (nothing, swell/burst/lyse,
