Process used to separate lipids fr water-soluble protein containing part of a substance
A plasma membrane allowing water to pass freely through but regulating mvmt of solvents is called ___ ___.
Selective Permeability
Water is a universal dissolving agent making it the ____ in a solution.
Solvent
The substances that are dissolved in a solution are the ____.
Solutes
What is the physical process where molecules move fr an area of high concentration to an area of low?
Diffusion
What is osmosis?
