Osmois is the continual movement of water from a higher solution of water content through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of lower water content. Therefore, ososis occurs in a downward direction from higher to lower water content.
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
The following conditions are required for osmosis to occur: 1) A selectively-permeable membrane 2) Concentration difference
yes
Osmosis across the cell membrane doesn't occur when the concentration gradients, and therefore the water potential inside and outside of the cell are the same
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis
osmosis occurs in the roots
where does osmosis occur in the human body?
osmosis occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys
Our kidneys are the primary site of osmosis in our bodies. Under direction of the hypothalamus in the brain, the kidneys expel water and salt as necessary to maintain the optimal levels for the cells in our body to function.in short kidneys are the part of circulatory system where osmosis occur.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.

Yes, osmosis is how water travels between cells.
