How does a cell keep from taking in excess water?
Osmosis.
How does reverse osmosis help shipwreck victims?
well osmosis is taking in water so maby if you reverse it and take out all the excess water they got from being in the water
How does a reverse osmosis water filter system filter water safely?
Reverse osmosis water filter systems filter water safely by forcing water through a membrane by means of pressure. This ensures that only water is removed from tap water, and all the excess minerals are filtered out.
What is the fuction of the vacuole in the process of osmosis?
If I remember correctly the vacuole gets rid of excess water assuring cells wont burst.
Why is the contractile vacuole such an important organelle in Paramecium?
The contractile vacuole removes the excess water that enters the organism through osmosis (passive transport doest not require ATP) down a concentration gradient. Because the water is more concentrated on the outside of the organism in the fresh water of its habitat the water enters the organism by osmosis. The water on the outside is hypertonic and the water on the inside of the organism is hypotonic. The contractile Vacuole acts as a pump to remove and excess water without this the cell would burst from to much excess water.
Do lobsters need to live in salt water?
Lobsters are designed to live in a salt water solution. This affects the very cells that they are made of. If they are placed in fresh water for enough time the cells will swell and possibly even rupture. This is due to an influx of water through osmosis.
What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
Osmosis is an example of?
highest water concertration to lower water concertration
Why do plants manage to attract more water in osmosis?
Osmosis the transfer of water through the cell. So when in osmosis the cell needs more water.
When raisins absorb water is it diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
