This measurement of concentration is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solvent.

The passive movement of solutes from a place of high concentration to a place of low concentration is called _________.

Study the diagram below carefully.  It shows a cell membrane (tan) separating the extracellular fluid (A) from the intracellular fluid (B). The small circles represent polar solutes dissolved in water. Use the pull-down menus below to insert the best, technical terms into the following sentences to make them true: In the above diagram, water will move across the plasma membrane by the process of [blank1].  For the situation seen above, water will move [blank2] the cell.  The inside of the cell above would be considered [blank3], relative to the outside of the cell.  If the cell above is an erythrocyte, it will eventually [blank4] in this solution.

If a K+ channel opens in the plasma membrane, those ions will flow out of the cell by facilitated diffusion.

When using a microscope, like the virtual example you used on Connect for Lab 1, setting the _________ too high or too low will specifically degrade the contrast of your image.
