When osmosis reaches equilibrium?
When osmosis reaches equilibrium, there is an equal concentration of solute on both sides of the semi-permeable membrane, resulting in no net movement of water molecules. This balance ensures that the pressure remains constant across the membrane.
How does diffusion occur through a semipermeable membrane?
Diffusion through a semipermeable membrane occurs when molecules move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, passing through the membrane. This process is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to spread out and reach equilibrium. The semipermeable membrane allows only certain molecules to pass through based on their size and charge, regulating the movement of substances across the membrane.
Does osmosis move molecules through the lipid bilayer?
Yes, osmosis moves water molecules through the lipid bilayer of a cell membrane to achieve equilibrium of water concentration on both sides. It does not move other types of molecules through the lipid bilayer.
How does the process of diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane occur?
Diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane occurs through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, through the semipermeable membrane, in order to equalize the concentration on both sides. This process is driven by the natural tendency of molecules to move from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration until equilibrium is reached.
How is equilibrium related to diffusion and osmosis?
Equilibrium in diffusion and osmosis is reached when there is a balanced distribution of particles or solutes across a membrane, resulting in no net movement of particles. In diffusion, equilibrium is reached when there is an equal concentration of particles on both sides of the membrane. In osmosis, equilibrium is reached when the water concentration is the same on both sides of the membrane.
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same (equilibrium) the molecules will?
reach dynamic equilibrium. Answer : move across the membrane in both directions (equilibrium).
When the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane is the same the molecules will?
reach dynamic equilibrium. Answer : move across the membrane in both directions (equilibrium).
When the molecules on both sides of a cell membrane are in equilibrium what will the molecules do?
If the concentration of molecules on both sides of a membrane is the same, nothing will happen to the molecules. Osmosis only occurs when there is an imbalance of the molecules across the cell membrane.
What is the equilibrium of solute across a membrane?
The equilibrium of solute across a membrane is reached when the concentration of the solute is the same on both sides of the membrane. This means that the movement of the solute molecules is balanced, with an equal number of molecules moving in and out of the membrane. At equilibrium, there is no net movement of solute across the membrane.
What is reached when the number of molecules crossing the membrane is the same in both directions?
When the number of molecules crossing the membrane is the same in both directions, equilibrium is reached. This means that a state of balance has been achieved, where there is no net movement of molecules across the membrane.
Diffusion stops when molecules reach the?
When molecules reach equilibrium, diffusion stops. This occurs when there is an equal concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane and no net movement.
Can passive transport reach equilibrium?
Yes, passive transport can reach equilibrium. In passive transport, molecules move across a membrane without the need for energy input. Once the concentration of molecules is equal on both sides of the membrane, equilibrium is reached and there is no further net movement of molecules.
Water molecules will no longer pass through the semipermeable membrane once equilibrium is reached true or false?
False. There will still be movement of water molecules across the membrane, but there will be no net movement. This means that the number of molecules coming into the cell will equal that going out, and equilibrium will therefore be maintained.
Is it true that once equilibrium is reached roughly equal numbers of molecules move in either direction across a semipermeable membrane?
Yes, once equilibrium is reached, the number of molecules moving in either direction across a semipermeable membrane will be roughly equal. This is because at equilibrium, the concentration of molecules is the same on both sides of the membrane, resulting in an equal likelihood of molecules moving in either direction to maintain balance.
What is it called when the concentration of water molecules is the same on each side of the cell membrane?
Equilibrium
What is it called when the concentration of water molecules is the same on each side of cell membrane?
Equilibrium
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
