How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis.?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
Water molecules move with the help of membrane proteins called aquaporins, which regulate the movement of water in an out of the cell. Because of the dual nature of the membrane (hydrophobic and hydrophilic), water doesn't simply diffuse in an out, although a certain percentage can slip in between phospholipids.

Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
How water molucleus move through the cell membrane doing out mosis?
During osmosis, water molecules move through the cell membrane by passing through microscopic openings in the membrane. The openings are large enough for the water molecules to pass through.
How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?
With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
During osmosis what passes through a cell membrane?
Water, from high to low concentration.
What is diffusion of oxygen all about?
Diffusion is the main method by which molecules move across the cell membrane. during diffusion, molecules move from an area of higher concentration, to an area of lower concentration. What is Osmosis? Osmosis is the transport of water from an area of high concentration, to an area of low concentration water moves inside and inside of the cell membrane by osmosis. osmosis is the diffusion of water!
What happens during the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the random movement of water particles through a partialy permiable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentrated solution.
What material diffuses across the cell membrane during osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of WATER from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. So water is exchanged during osmosis.
What is aqua-protein?
an aqua protein is a channel protein which allows water to pass through a membrane during osmosis
