Where in the body does omosis occur?
Osmosis occurs in most cells with the flow of one solute of a solution through a membrane into an organelle, while other solutes are unable to pass through the membrane.
How is omosis defined?
Osmosis is the diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane.
What is the relationship between omosis and duffusion?
They both contain molecules that move from an area of high concentration to and area of low concentration.
How is diffusion different from osmosis?
The essential idea is the same: diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis is the process by which molecules of WATER spread from areas of high concentration (such as a dilute solution) to areas of low concentration (such as a concentrated solution), typically through a selectively permeable membrane. In short: Diffusion occurs as is, while osmosis occurs through a semi permeable membrane.
What is the difference between diffusuion and omosis?
Diffusion is the spreading out of a substance from a region where it is in higher concentration to one where it is in lower concentration. Osmosis is the special case of diffusion where the process takes place through a semi-permeable membrane, i.e. one which allows only some substances through it.
What liquid does omosis takes place in?
gas
How does the cellular process of omosis occur?
how does cellular respiration occur
How are diffusion and omosis diferent?
They are the same except that osmosis is specifically for water.
What are two ways of moving things in and out of a cell that do not need energy?
transpiration and diffusion through cell walls.Tranpiration is only for plant cells and animals cells do not have a cell wall. For animal cells there is diffusion and omosis through cell membranes.diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
How does omosis Jones correctly depict a white blood cell?
He fights bacteria and viruses. Other than that, everything is incorrect.
In the movie osmosis Jones How does omosis Jones behave that is uncharacteristic for a white blood cell?
Osmosis Jones behaves uncharacteristically for a white blood cell because he thinks he can cure Frank himself but real blood cells work together. Also, when he and the Red Death jump out of Franks mouth, that wouldn't happen because cells wouldn't jump out of your mouth ;) I just watched this movie yesterday and was looking for this same answer, guess I know it now! :P hope this helps. HA FIRST ANSWER!
Why do plant cells become turgid?
Plant cells have a strong cell wall surrounding them. When the take in water by osmosis they start to swell, but the cell wall prevents them from bursting. Plant cells become "turgid" when they are put in dilute solutions. Turgid means swollen and hard. The pressure inside the cell rises, eventually the internal pressure of the cell is so high that no more water can enter the cell. This liquid or hydrostatic pressure works against osmosis. Turgidity is very important to plants because this is what make the green parts of the plant "stand up" into the sunlight.
