Osmosis is the transfer of a solvent (e.g. water) through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution on one side to a more concentrated solution on the other side. Osmosis is driven by ordinary statistical diffusion, the same movement of solvent occurs even without the membrane but the membrane prevents other types of mixing (e.g. mechanical, convection) that would allow mixing of solutes in the solutions. Only mixing by diffusion through the membrane is allowed.
What else can I help you with?
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
How is osmosis involved in supplying water for photosynthesis in the leaf?
Because osmosis is related to the movement of water molecules.
When osmosis is useful?
For plants to take in water
How do plants and animals take in water or moisture?
By osmosis
How does water travel up the roots of a plant?
osmosis
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane through what process?
Cells in a plant root absorb water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This allows the plant to take up water from the soil and transport it throughout the root system for various functions.
Cells in a plant root drink water through the cell membrane. what process is going on?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
What process is going on when cells in a plant root drink in water through the cell membrane?
Osmosis (endo-osmosis to take water inside plant cell)
Is a protein osmosis?
No, protein is not osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids that have various functions in the body.
How does water get back to the sea?
To put it simply:- There are concentration gradients within the body, so water will travel into the tissue fluid by osmosis, or leave my osmosis, depending on where it is needed.
Do bryophytes draw up water by osmosis?
Bryophytes are a type of non-vascular plants that draw up water by using osmosis. One of the more well known plants within this group are species of moss.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
