Analyze How does osmosis explain what happens to the bowl of strawberries when you cover it with sugar?

There is more water in the strawberries than in the sugar. Water always moves from a higher concentration of water to a lower. The sugar will become watery and that is a great way to make a strawberry topping for ice cream.

How does osmosis explain sugar on strawberries?
when u cover the strawberry with sugar, the water enters the strawberries cell membrane. then the strawberries coating will be sweeter
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
What happens in osmosis?
Osmosis is the passive diffusion of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of lower concentration through a partially permeable membrane.
Considering the meaning of osmosis explain how reverse osmosis would make more pure?
Using the tern osmosis means that water will diffuse from higher to lower concentration. Being that reverse osmosis mean a method of purifying water, reverse osmosis leaves the lower concentration to go to the higher concentrated environment to become pure. Did that make sense?
How does osmosis explain sugar on strawberries?
when u cover the strawberry with sugar, the water enters the strawberries cell membrane. then the strawberries coating will be sweeter
How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis-The diffusion of water through a membrane. Answer-the sugar gets in to the strawberry and makes it melt so the watery syrup forms.
How does osmosis explain the fact that watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane from the side of higher concentration to lower concentration. When sugar is placed on strawberries, the water diffuses across the cell membranes out of the strawberries and mixes with the sugar to form a syrupy substance.
Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
When does osmosis happen?
osmosis usually happens when usman is here but im not sure :/
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
Explain how osmosis differs from diffusion?
Osmosis differs from Diffusion because in osmosis only water moves, and during diffusion, small molecules move across the cell membrane.
Is taking in water from a cup into the body osmosis?
No, it isn't. Osmosis is on a cellular level, like water moving through the membrane of a cell. However, it is a good metaphor to explain osmosis.
What happens to cells as a result of osmosis?
they become turgid.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
Where does osmosis occur in the cell?
It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.
