No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)

How does osmosis work in the lung?

Osmosis does not work very well in the lung: osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane. Under ideal circumstances, there is very little-to-no liquid in the lungs. Gases move by diffusion across the cells of the alveoli and adjacent capillaries.

How does osmosis work in biological systems?

Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. In biological systems, osmosis helps maintain the balance of water and nutrients within cells and tissues.


How does osmosis Jones behave that is uncharacteristic for white blood cell?

Osmosis Jones behaves uncharacteristically for a white blood cell because he thinks he can cure Frank himself but real blood cells work together. Also, when he and the Red Death jump out of Franks mouth, that wouldn't happen because cells wouldn't jump out of your mouth ;) I just watched this movie yesterday and was looking for this same answer, guess I know it now! :P hope this helps. HA FIRST ANSWER!

How does cryo preservation work?

Cryopreservation works by slowing down the metabolism of cells until they can no longer function. This is done by lowering the temperature until all water in the cells freeze or is removed by osmosis.

What method of cell transport is at work when you are dehydrated?

When you are dehydrated, water is transported into the cells through osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration to equalize the concentrations. This helps rehydrate the cells and maintain their normal function.
