Osmosis Worksheet
Below are animal cells placed in beakers of various concentrations. Use the first picture as an example.
Select the direction that water moves (into the cell or into the solution)
Fill in any missing percentages (water or solute)
Identify the type of solution (isotonic, hypertonic, or hypotonic)


How does water move?
What type of solution is in Beaker 1?

Beaker 2 : How does water move?
What type of solution is beaker 2 ?

Beaker 3: How does water move?
The solution is

What is the missing solute percentage for beaker 4?
Beaker 4: Water would move...

The missing percentage for beaker 5 is...
Beaker 5: Water would move...

The missing percetntage for beaker 6 is...
Water in beaker 6 would move...

The percentage of water in THE CELLL in beaker 7 is
The percentage of water IN THE SOLUTION in beaker 7 is...
The solution in beaker 7 is hypertonic in comparison to the cell.

The solute concentration INSIDE THE CELL is 20%
What type of solution is in beaker 8? *SPELLING COUNTS! (Hypertonic, Isotonic or Hypotonic)

Beaker 9 has what concentration of solute IN THE CELL?
What is the concentration of solute in beaker 9?

Fill in the missing percentages, then draw an arrow to show the direction that water would move for beaker 11.
Match the term to its definition:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Osmosis | arrow_right_alt | A solution in which the concentration of solutes is lower. |
Isotonic | arrow_right_alt | A solution in which the concentration of solutes is higher. |
Hypertonic | arrow_right_alt | The movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. |
Hypotonic | arrow_right_alt | A solution in which the concentration of solutes is equal. |
Match the term to its definition:
| Draggable item | arrow_right_alt | Corresponding Item |
|---|---|---|
Concentration gradient | arrow_right_alt | The property of a membrane that allows only certain substances to pass. |
Selective permeability | arrow_right_alt | A difference in the concentration of solutes between two areas. |
The solution for Beaker 4 is...
The solution in beaker 5 is
The solution in beaker 6 is
Draw an arrow to show the direction water would move.
The water concentration in the solution for beaker 8 is 20%
The solution in beaker 9 is hypotonic in comparison to the cell.
