  10. How do we perform chemical hydrolysis in the lab?
    By heating molecules with acid in the presence of water
  11. What is an emulsion?

  12. Describe the process of clarification.
    Process used to separate lipids fr water-soluble protein containing part of a substance
  13. A plasma membrane allowing water to pass freely through but regulating mvmt of solvents is called ___ ___.
    Selective Permeability
  14. Water is a universal dissolving agent making it the ____ in a solution.
    Solvent
  15. The substances that are dissolved in a solution are the ____.
    Solutes
  16. What is the physical process where molecules move fr an area of high concentration to an area of low?
    Diffusion
  17. What is osmosis?
    Diffusion of water thru selectively permeable membrane fr area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration.
  18. Solutes that cannot cross a membrane are called ___ ___.
    Nonpenetrating Solutes
  19. A hypertonic solution is one in which . . .
    Solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside giving it a greater osmolarity
  20. A hypertonic solution causes water to . . .
    Flow out of the cell & eventually crenate
  21. A solution w/greater concentration of solute inside the cell (lower osmolarity) is called ____.
    Hypotonic
  22. A hypotonic solution cause water to . . .
    Flow into the cell and eventually lysis
  23. What is the term for solute concentration expressed in molarity?
    Osmolarity
  24. 2 solutions that are said to be in equilibrium are called ____.
    Isotonic
  25. What form of energy drives diffusion?
    Intrinsic molecular kinetic energy
  26. When a protoplast, in a plant cell, shrinks & pulls away fr the cell wall due to being placed in a hypertonic solution ____ occurs.

    Protoplast
  28. When a plant cell is placed in hypotonic solution, water flows in expanding the protoplast against the cell wall causing what?
    Turgor Pressure
  29. What is water potential in plant cells?
