What else can I help you with?
Can osmosis occurs only in liquids?
No, osmosis can also occur across a semipermeable membrane between a liquid and a gas. For example, water vapor can move through a semipermeable membrane to equalize the concentration on either side.
What is the function of breathing?
Gas exchanges
Where gas exchanges?
in your respiratory system
Does gas exchange occurs by osmosis?
No, gas exchange does not occur by osmosis. Gas exchange involves the diffusion of gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide) between areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration across a semipermeable membrane, such as in the alveoli of the lungs or the tissues of the body. Osmosis, on the other hand, is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They both do not require energy input from the cell to occur.
Which organ exchanges gas in a mammal?
The lungs.
Where does the exchanges of gases occur?
The exchange of gases occurs at the ends of the airways in the lungs. Here tiny sacs called alveoli connect with tiny blood vessels and here exhaust gas [carbon dioxide] is exchanged for fresh gas [oxygen].
Which gas mainly natural gas consists?
gas consists mainly of 79% of noble gas
Difference between osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the movement of substance (anything- solid ,liquid, gas, etc.) from a higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient.Osmosis is the net movement of water molecules from higher concentration gradient to a lower concentration gradient through a partially permeable membraneSo the difference is that diffusion involves movement of any particles/ substance (e.g. solid, liquid, gas) while osmosis can only occur with water.Another one is that diffusion can occur with or without a membrane but osmosis can only occur with a membrane.Hope this helps. :)
What macronutrient does not occur as a gas?
Phosphorous does not occur as a gas
How and which vessels are responsible for gas exchanges?
The capitularies are responsible for bass exchange
Is Saturn rocky or mainly gas?
It's mainly gas, it's one of the Gas Giants of our solar system.
