Question

question 32 (5 points) water is a dominant molecule of living things. each of these terms is connected to aspects of water. match the term to the description. 1. attractive to water molecules. hypertonic. 2. movement from a high concentration to low concentration. hydrophobic. 3. high concentration of solutes. hypotonic. 4. creates an electrochemical gradient. isotonic. 5. low concentration of solutes. hydrophilic. 6. non - polar and unattractive to water. 7. movement of water across a membrane. 8. same concentration of solutes.

Explanation:

• Hydrophilic substances are attracted to water molecules.
• Hydrophobic substances are non - polar and unattractive to water.
• Hypertonic solutions have a high concentration of solutes.
• Hypotonic solutions have a low concentration of solutes.
• Isotonic solutions have the same concentration of solutes.
• Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane. Diffusion is the movement from a high concentration to a low concentration.

Answer:

• hypertonic: 3. high concentration of solutes.
• hydrophobic: 6. non - polar and unattractive to water.
• hypotonic: 5. low concentration of solutes.
• isotonic: 8. same concentration of solutes.
• hydrophilic: 1. attractive to water molecules.
