What else can I help you with?
Does osmosis use cell energy?
No, osmosis is a passive process that does not require the use of cell energy (ATP). It is driven by the concentration gradient of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane.
Do cellular energy required for osmosis?
No, cellular energy is not directly required for osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration, driven by the concentration gradient. However, cellular energy may be required for maintaining ion concentration imbalances that influence osmosis.
Is osmosis polar or non-polar?
Osmosis is a phenomenon not a molecule !
What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What is the compare and contrast of osmosis and diffusion to exocytosis and endocytosis?
Osmosis and diffusion are passive transport processes that involve the movement of molecules across a membrane or within a solution, driven by concentration gradients. In contrast, exocytosis and endocytosis are active transport processes that require energy to move large molecules or particles into (endocytosis) or out of (exocytosis) cells via vesicles. While osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water, diffusion can involve any type of molecule. Overall, osmosis and diffusion are simpler, passive mechanisms, whereas exocytosis and endocytosis are more complex, energy-dependent processes.
How do diffusion and osmosis related to each other?
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive transport processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane, while diffusion can involve the movement of any type of molecule. Both processes are driven by the concentration gradient and do not require energy input from the cell.
Is energy required for osmosis?
No - osmosis is a passive process. It is the movement of water into an area of higher solute concentration in order to achieve equilibrium. It can also sometimes be used to describe the movement of another solvent (not water) in a similar manner.
What do you call the membrane that allowed the movement of molecule?
osmosis
How can water be driven to move into and out of the Cell through the Cell membrane?
Through the process of Osmosis and, alternately, reverse Osmosis.
Why is osmosis an example of passive transport and not active transport?
passive transport does not require energy eg. diffusion and osmosis. Therefore, osmosis is a passive transport. Active transport requires energy eg. a molecule going from a low concentration from a high concentration.
How are osmosis and diffusion defferent?
by... osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule across and athe diffusion is the process by which molecules speards from area
What molecule uses osmosis?
Water is the primary molecule that undergoes 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 in order to equalize the concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
