Does gas exchange occurs by osmosis?
No. Osmosis refers to the movement of water only. Gases move by diffusion.
How is osmosis a special kind of diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water only. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a membrane in order to create an equilibrium.
How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
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.
Whats the only substance that undergoes osmosis?
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
How is osmosis used in photosynthesis?
Osmosis 'works' in photosynthesise to transport liquids (mostly water) up the plant, generally from underground, to the areas of the plant where the photosynthesis occurs, and then in moving the sap away.

No. Osmosis refers to the movement of water only. Gases move by diffusion.
How is osmosis a special kind of diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water only. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a membrane in order to create an equilibrium.
What does convection occurs in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
Where does osmosis occur?
osmosis occurs in the roots

What occurs when only water can pass through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
Where does osmosis occur in the kidney?
osmosis occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys
What does convection only occur in?
Convection only occurs in fluids. Fluids are gases or liquids.
What periodically occurs across grasslands?
Osmosis occurs
Does osmosis occur when you swim in the sea?
No, osmosis does not occur between your body and the sea. It only occurs between almost all the 30 trillion cells in your body.

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.
