What does osmosis move?
water. its just like diffusion but with water. through aquaporins or somthin like that
Is osmosis passive?
Osmosis is defined as the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In theory water could be actively pumped and it would still count as osmosis so it might not always be passive. But in cells water passes through proteins called Aquaporins which allow the passive transport of water. LONG TO SHORT YES IT IS PASSIVE
Does transporting aquaporins proteins require ATP?
no
How do perimecium help counteract the effects of osmosis?
contractile vacuoles
What substance is transported by aquaporins?
The correct answer is water. Aquaporins are a newly discovered class of transport proteins that transport water in cells with very high water permeability needs. - Vance Austin Neely
What is helped by aquaporins?
osmosis
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
facilitated diffusion
How does water reabsorption in kidneys occur?
by osmosis through tubular aquaporins
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane through aquaporins is called?
osmosis
What does osmosis move?
water. its just like diffusion but with water. through aquaporins or somthin like that
What protein aids in osmosis I didn't hear all of what my teacher said but I heard that the first part was aqua?
You might be looking for Aquaporins. Realize that that is not the only type of protein that can aid in osmosis. Aquaporins are a type of Channel Protein. There there are Carrier Proteins that serve a similar purpose, but do it differently. You can look this up in your class literature for verification.
What channel proteins allow water to pass across the membrane?
Aquaporins
Water may move through membrane pores constructed by transmembrane proteins called?
aquaporins

How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis.?
Water molecules move with the help of membrane proteins called aquaporins, which regulate the movement of water in an out of the cell. Because of the dual nature of the membrane (hydrophobic and hydrophilic), water doesn't simply diffuse in an out, although a certain percentage can slip in between phospholipids.
What uses channel proteins to help it across the cell membranes?
Water is one specific molecule. Its channel proteins are called aquaporins.
Does transporting aquaporins proteins require ATP?
no
