concentration.
• Concentration is the quantity of a given substance in
a given volume.
• Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across
a cell membrane from an area of higher concentration
of water to an area of lower concentration of water.
30. Which is an example of osmosis?
33. Explain the term selectively permeable as it applies to
a cell membrane.
a. movement of oxygen from the alveoli in lungs into
capillaries of the circulatory system
b. movement of carbon dioxide from capillaries of the
circulatory system into the alveoli in lungs
C. absorption of nutrients from the villi of the small
intestine into the capillaries of the circulatory
34. Compare the processes of diffusion and osmosis in the
context of a cell membrane.

d. absorption of water from the soil to plant root cells
e. movement of sugar produced by photosynthesis
from the leaves to other parts of a plant
36. An amoeba (Amoeba proteus) is a single-celled
protozoan that lives in fresh water. Water continually
moves into this organism by osmosis. Amoebas use
an organelle called a contractile vacuole to remove
excess water from the cell.
31. Which plant cell shown below is in an environment
where there is a higher concentration of water
contractile
vacuole
molecules inside the cell than outside of the cell?
H,0

TH,0 H,0 H,0
a. Describe what would happen to an Amoeba proteus
if it did not have a contractile vacuole.
b. Predict the effect of placing an Amoeba proteus in
salt water.
37. Dialysis tubing is a material used to make artificial
membranes that are selectively permeable. A
photograph of a membrane model made with dialysis
tubing is shown below. Imagine that the membrane
model contains distilled water and is placed in the
ink-and-water beaker from question 32. Assume that
the ink has fully diffused through the water when the
membrane model is placed in it. Also assume that the
dialysis tubing is permeable to water but not to ink
particles. Describe what will happen as time passes,
and explain why it will happen.
