Describe the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive process and happens without any expenditure of energy. It involves the movement of molecules from a region of higher concentration to lower concentration until the concentrations become equal on either side of the membrane. Any solvent can undergo the process of osmosis including gases and supercritical liquids.
How do you describe osmosis?
A special type of diffusion through a 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.
What happens during the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the random movement of water particles through a partialy permiable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentrated solution.

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 :/
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
How do you describe osmosis?
A special type of diffusion through a membrane
What happens to cells as a result of osmosis?
they become turgid.
Why is osmosis important in human physi?
Osmosis is the term used to describe the movement of water through cells. Osmosis is important because all cells need water in order to survive.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
What is the term used to describe water moving across a cell membrane?
osmosis
Describe the movement of water and mineral salts into the root hair cell?
Osmosis.
Where does osmosis occur in the cell?
It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.
