In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
How long does osmosis take to happen?
buy a watch and checkk. =D
What would happen to the Nucleus without neutrons?
It would not be stable and fall apart.
Why does temperature effect the rate of osmosis?
Theoretically, the maximum point of increase in the rate of osmosis with the increase of temperature should be the boiling point of water. At this point, the water can not get hotter (without superheating due to the addition of pressure), therefor the rate of osmosis could not be any greater.Yes, increasing temperature would result in an increase in the rate of osmosis, as the water molecules would have more energy and therefore faster Brownian motion. This means the molecules move around a lot faster, so equilibrium would be reached faster.
Why do you use osmosis?
Because osmosis is passive, which means it does not require energy. It allows the transfer of water to where its needed, without cells needing to expend any ATP.
When does osmosis happen?
osmosis usually happens when usman is here but im not sure :/
What will happen to a plant if there is no osmosis?
plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis. Therefore when there is no osmosis plants cannot survive.
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis
What would happen if you placed a blood cell in pure water?
Yeah I think so
Osmosis does it need energy?
No, actually diffusion is a kind of passive transport, and osmosis is a kind of diffusion. Any passive transport can happen without energy (contrary to active transport). Since, all the things you listed were passive transport, they happen down the concentration gradient and need no ATP.
What will happen if a egg went in to salt water?
If the egg was raw then the inside would shrivel up due to osmosis.
Why are the processes of osmosis and diffusion essential for life?
Because without them, your nipples would not produce mountain dew.
Osmosis in real life?
Osmosis certainly does happen regularly in real life. Osmosis is the transportation of water from one side of a membrane to the other side of a membrane.
Does osmosis occur in dead cells?
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
What would happen if you put red blood cell in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.
Do cells have to work to make osmosis happen?
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)
