Is water enters a cell through a cell wall by a process called osmosis true?

Yes. But only through a permeable or semi permeable membrane
EDIT: The cell membrane is not itself permeable to water. However there does exist a type of protein pore called an aquaporin in the membrane that can allow water to pass through, driven by diffusion or osmosis.

so yes, its true

How does energy enter a food chain through plants?
Energy enters plants through a process called photosynthesis
Which process of living things produces water that enters the water cycle?
Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of WATER specifically. sources: 8th grade living environment (9th grade science)
Do root hairs allow water to enter the root of a plant by germination?
No, water enters the root hairs by the process of osmosis
If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.
What is the process called within the amoeba for which oxygen is required?
It enters through the lipid bilayer (aka cell membrane) by diffusion down a concentration gradient from a high concentration to a low one. This process is continuous. Diffusion occurs naturally because of the kinetic energy in the oxygen particles which allows them to move - this is known as Brownian Motion.
How can a liquid droplet enter a cell?
Water enters the cell through the cell membrane through a process called osmosis. It doesn't require any energy from the cell (atp) because it is a type of passive transport.
What is the process of moving water into or out of a cell membrane?
Well this process is called osmosis. When too much water gets in a cell it uses sugar levels and water levels to balance out the matter inside the cell. If to much water and nutrients enters the cell it will die because it cannot process all the nutrients.
Process by which alcohol enters the bloodstream and travels to all body parts?
im awsome its tru yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Through what process does the water enter the stems of the plant?
good question. it travels through its roots and all around to the leaves. like our body with oxygen

The cellular transport process by which carbon dioxide enters a leaf and by which water vapor and oxygen exit?
osmosis

Is salted egg an example of osmosis?
osmosis is demonstrated in the process of making salted egg. eggs are submerged in a brine solution for a period of time. because the egg shell is permeable salt enters. water is also removed from the egg in this process.
How does a cell control what enters and leaves?
The cell membrane enables a cell to control what enters and leaves. The membrane has a selective semi-permeable membrane which facilitate this process.
What is the process called when a holy person becomes a saint?
Sanctification is the process by which a person becomes holy. He becomes a saint when he enters heaven, so that process would be called death. He is announced as a saint to the Church through a process known as canonization.
