Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the semi-permeable membrane. This will cause water to cross the lipid bilayer.

Does osmosis occur in living cells?
Yes, osmosis is how water travels between cells.
How does osmosis occur in cells?
Osmosis is the process of movement of water molecules from its higher conc. to its lower conc. through a semi permeable membrane. In cells ,the plasma membrane is a selectively permeable membrane, when a cell is placed in a hypotonic medium, water travels into the cell referred to as endosmossis. similarly when water molecules moves out, it is termed as exosmosis.
What is osmososis?
Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane down a water potential gradient. Through the osmosis, your cells can absorb water.
How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?
Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
Does osmosis occur in living cells?
Yes, osmosis is how water travels between cells.
How does water reabsorption in kidneys occur?
by osmosis through tubular aquaporins
Osmosis can only if water travels through what?
Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane. In biological systems, the solvent is typically water.

How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.
The Movement of water molecules through membrane toward an area where they occur in a lower cocentration is called?
Osmosis
What is nonpermeable?
It means that things, usually water cannot pass through it, and so osmosis could not occur in that cell.
Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the other organelles besides the nucleus that contain?
Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the?
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
What is the difference between active transport and pass transport?
Pass transports require no energy and active requires energy. Osmosis is when it travels through water.
What is the passage of water through cell membrane?
osmosis
How does water and mineral salt get from the roots of plant to its stem?
water and dissolved mineral salts enter the root hairs from the soil.then the water travels up through xylem vessels in the roots,stem,leaves
