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

What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
What are the conditions required for osmosis to occur?
The following conditions are required for osmosis to occur: 1) A selectively-permeable membrane 2) Concentration difference
Does osmosis occur in a salted egg?
yes
Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution?
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis
How does boiling a potato effect osmosis?
Boiling the potato destroys the cell membrane which is a partially permeable membrane. Thus osmosis is unable to occur as osmosis occurs through a partially membrane and only diffusion would occur.
Where does osmosis occur?
osmosis occurs in the roots
How does the body use osmosis?
where does osmosis occur in the human body?
Where does osmosis occur in the kidney?
osmosis occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys
How much energy ATP is needed for osmosis to occur?
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.
What does concentration have to do with osmosis and diffusion?
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
Where did osmosis occur in your body?
Cell
Does osmosis occur in living cells?
Yes, osmosis is how water travels between cells.
What are the conditions required for osmosis to occur?
The following conditions are required for osmosis to occur: 1) A selectively-permeable membrane 2) Concentration difference
How does diffusion and osmosis occur in the bloodstream?
niples
Does osmosis occur in a salted egg?
yes
Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution?
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis
Can osmosis occur in the absence of menbrane?
Osmosis is a type of diffusion that occurs with a semi permeable membrane. It can therefore not occur without a membrane because that is what differentiates it from diffusion.
