Ô Osmosis- Net movement of WATER MOLECULES
(Solvent) from a solution of higher water concentration
to a solution of lower water concentration.

Ô This makes the cell membrane

semipermeable.
Ô The movement of water through a
semipermeable membrane that blocks
solutes from moving is called osmosis.
Ô Hypotonic means lower solute
concentration
Ô Animal cells can rupture in hypotonic
environments
Ô Plant cells are protected from rupture by their
strong cell walls

Ô Hypertonic means higher concentration of

solutes
Ô A cell placed in a hypertonic environment will
lose water and shrink.
Ô Plant cells plasmolyze when placed in very salty
water.

Ô To know about misconceptions of
students, they conducted a pre-test.
Ô Then, they find out the misconception
of students.
Ô In the pre-test, they were asked to
state, describe and draw about osmosis.
