What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
Why does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
What concentration gradient moves when a low concentration moves from an area of a higher concentration?
The concentration gradient is controlled by Diffusion. This same movement in reverse is known as Osmosis.
Osmosis is defined as the movement of?
water across a concentration gradient
Does osmosis work with or against the concentration gradient?
against the gradient
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
How does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Osmosis is a passive transport process. Therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient.
Why does active transport require more energy than osmosis or faciliated diffusion?
It is because during active transport, the molecules are being transported against and toward the concentration gradient whereas in diffusion, the molecules go from the concentration gradient.
How does difference in concentration relate to movement of substances across the membrane?
the concentration gradient will help to bring stuff into the cell and to move stuff out. Osmosis likes to move with the concentration gradient. Moving with a concentration gradient is passive transport and moving against it is active transport
Why does the concentration gradient affect osmosis?
Because osmosis is the movement of water molecules from where they are in high concentration to where they are in low concentration.
The movement of water across a membrane is termed?
it is called osmosis and it is the net movement of water particles across a semi-permable membrane against the concentration gradient!
What is the movement of a substance against the substances concentration gradient?
Active transport, or reverse osmosis; depending upon conditions.
What is the movement of water across a concentration gradient called?
Its called as Osmosis
Does chemiosmosis involve a concentration gradient?
Yes, chemiosmosis involves a concentration gradient. Think of chemiOSMOSIS, osmosis being the diffusion of water, which involves a concentration gradient.
Difference between osmosis and active transport?
The difference between osmosis and active transport is that osmosis takes place only in water molecule and active transport takes place in takes place in the internal lining of the small intestine. 2 osmosis takes place in presence of concentration gradient and active transport against the concentration gradient.
What process is used to move proteins against the concentrarion gradient?
this is called active transport, bc it uses energy and goes against the concentration gradient
