|
cohesion
|
|
|
Describes a substance or surface that allows other substances to pass through
|
permeable
|
|
|
describes a substance or surface that allows some substances to pass through while preventing others from doing so
|
simi permeable
|
|
|
describes a substnace or surface that prevents other substances from passing through it.
|
impermeable
|
|
|
the amount of heat that a substnace can absorb without increasing in temperature

|
|
|
the process by which a liquid becomes a gas
|

|
|
|

|
|
|
the uinform mixing of the particles of one substance with those of another substance cuased by the motion of both types of particles
|
diffusion
|
|
|
Without Sun there would be no food?
|
True! without the sun photosynthesis couldn't happen! plants make food from carbon dioxide and water, combined with energy to make food and give off oxygen. If the sun was gone none of this could happen, and there would be no food.
|
|
|
how does diffusion work?
|
diffusion is when a substance of a disolved substance goes from a higher concentration to a lower conventration.
|
|
|
What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion
|
The difference between osmosis and diffusion is the mixing of the particles of one substance with another and osmosis is diffusion of a fluid through semi permeable membrane.
|
|
|
Using osmosis why should u not put tap water in a group of blood cells that you want to observe under a microscope?
|
Becuase the water would move into the cells because of there lower concentration, and you would not see the same thing as you would with it in salt water.
|
|
|
Why does putting salt, or fertilizer, too close to a plant kill the plant?
|
Becuase the water in the plant moves out of the plant into a lower concentrated area then the plant has no more water and dies.
