 Midterm Exam Concepts: Under each concept term post or revise information to make a fantastic review guide.

Include definitions **__in your own words__**, images, embed youtube videos, and links to websites with animations.

You can earn extra credit for original examples or analogies.

Your assignment guidelines are posted here (read these for important reminders)

Osmosis

This animation starts with more water ( blue molecules) on the left side, and more solute ( green ) on the right. Remember that solute can be anything that is dissolved in a solution, like sugar, salt (sodium), etc. The solute can't cross the membrane but water can. Over time w ater will diffuse across the membrane to balance the ratio of water to solute on both sides. [| This is a link to a great summary of osmosis and diffusion]

Example: You get a salad with dressing on it. After a while, the dressing makes the lettuce wilt and get soggy. Animation, video, examples and definition provided by Mr.V
 * The grocery store uses osmosis all the time to keep vegetables looking fresh. Watch what happens to wilted lettuce that is left in pure water (remember the plant cells have more solute INSIDE the cell then OUTSIDE the cell so water has to flow inside the cells. **
