Physiology 2

Nonpenetrating:: assume that all ________ are.

________:: describes a solution based on its effects on the volume of a cell placed in the solution.

________:: the same osmolarity in relation to another solution.

________ depends on:: the number of particles in a given volume of solution.

________:: the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane up a solute concentration gradient.

the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane up a solute concentration gradient

the number of particles in a given volume of solution

= molarity * particles/molecule

higher osmolarity in relation to another solution

lower osmolarity in relation to another solution

the same osmolarity in relation to another solution

describes a solution based on its effects on the volume of a cell placed in the solution

water diffuses out, shrinking

water diffuses in, swelling

a very hypotonic solution causes

water diffuses normally, no effect to the cell

only solutes that effect osmolarity and tonicity

300 mOsm

assume that all intracellular solutes are
