Does osmosis occur in dead cells?
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
Why do your cells need to carry out osmosis?
Cells need to carry out osmosis to stay hydrated. Osmosis does not take any ATP to function. It diffuses through the cell membrane to make it so that the concentration inside the cell is about the same as the concentration levels outside the cell.
What is the process which water moves across the cells membrane?
The water moves from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration across the semi permiable membrane using osmosis.
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
How does water get into cells?
i think it is because diffusion that water gets into the cells of few organisms. The specific type of transport used is osmosis. Diffusion is the net movement of substances typically from a rgion of high concentration to low concentration. This process does not require energy. Osmosis is diffusion but is specific to water.
Osmosis in cells?
it occurs when water moves across a membrane to a lower concentration from a higher concentration.
What describes the role of osmosis in cells?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable which allows for movement (exchanges) through it always from the side of higher concentration moving over to the side of lower concentration. This defines the movement osmosis. The role of osmosis is to maintain equilibrium between inside and outside the cell. Sudden, large shifts via osmosis can indicate illness or a response to severe injury.

What make osmosis and diffusion the same?
Molecules travel across the cell membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration during both osmosis and diffusion. Diffusion is when molecules move across the cells' membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.

Most water enters and leaves cells by?
Water moves between cells by osmosis, down a concentration gradient.
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
How are cells affected by osmosis?
The cell membrane does not move during osmosis. Osmosis is defined as "the net movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane following a concentration gradient."
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
What is The difference between osmosis and diffusion in cells?
Osmosis is a term applied to the movement of a solution to a zone with solutes.Diffusion is a term applied to a substance moving from a high concentration zone to a low concentration zone.
How does the kidney help in maintaining a normal concentration in cells?
kidney filters and maintain a normal concentration in cells toxics are wasted out as urine
