Distinguish between osmosis and diffusion?
The difference between Diffusion and Osmosis is by the process of them diffusing and the outcome such as an example of a sugar cube... In Diffusion Molecules move from high concentration just Osmosis although in the diffusion process of "Diffusion" it uses Kinetic energy and Concentration Gradient while "Osmosis" does not require cells to expand energy, in result Osmosis uses Passive Transport of Water.
Sugar allows osmosis in potatoes?
no or yes
If you drop a lump of sugar into a beaker of water the sugar particles will become evenly distributed throughout the water through what?
the lump of sugar will slowly dissolve and undergo osmosis, if you stir or swirl the beaker it this will happen much faster
How does osmosis explain sugar on strawberries?
when u cover the strawberry with sugar, the water enters the strawberries cell membrane. then the strawberries coating will be sweeter
Describe what happens in osmosis?
when you mix something such as, sugar or salt, with water, you lower the concentration of water molecules
Does passive transport require sugar?
no, that's why its called "passive".
Is a cube of sugar dissolving in coffee considered osmosis?
Yes, the "passive moving" of water across the membrane is considered osmosis.
Does glucose enter a cell by active transport?
GLUT1 is a passive protein transport. Glucose with GLUT1 can only be transported from high to low concentration. With the sodium - glucose symporter it's possible to transport glucose from low to high concentration.
What is one example of how a cell uses active transport?
Sugar. The membrane is impermeable to sugar molecules ... insulin's function is to activate active transport.
Is the way sugar enters a cell if there is more sugar outside the cell than inside the cell passive or active?
Passive (just guessing)
Does active transport have sugar or amino acid?
I believe so
What are cells called that transfer sugar?
It is not a cell, but a required action a cell takes. It is called the passive transport.
Is an example of active transport?
An example of active transport is sugar molecules going into a cell. It cannot pass right through like water and oxygen so it uses active transport.Diffusion

What is it called when water diffuses across a cell membrane?
Passive molecular diffusion. The Cell can't be compared to a hollowed out potato! Meaning that the osmotic flow of water into the sugar filled potato interior pool is unidirectional; while the Cell may control the flow of water, in or out, depending upon it's needs.
