Question
Chapter 5, Problem 11SQ
Summary Introduction
Introduction: A solution consists of solute and solvent. Solutes tend to diffuse from regions of higher to lower concentration. The rate of diffusion is affected by the concentration difference, temperature, size, charge, and pressure.

Because of the phospholipid cell membrane, water cannot diffuse into or out of the cell.
True or false
When two chambers are separated by a membrane permeable to water but not solute, if water is free to move in either direction without limitation or pressure, then water will
move until the concentration of solute on both sides of the chamber is equal
move until there is no water on the dilute side
move until there is no water on the concentrated side
move until the concentration of water on both sides of the chamber is equal
The movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concnetration is called _________
osmosis
diffusion
solubility
gradient
