No, it isn't. Osmosis is on a cellular level, like water moving through the membrane of a cell.
However, it is a good metaphor to explain osmosis.
osmosis
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)
~When you put salt in potato and then put it in the water cup, there is low water concentration in potato and more concentration in the cup of water. Due to this concentration gradient water moves from the cup into the potato by osmosis.
Water is an amorphous liquid; it takes the form of any structure that contains it. Pouring water into a cup would result in a cup filled with "cup-shaped" water.
water doesn't really go in it, it just gets absorbed. Like for example strawberries if you leave one in a cup of water, osmosis will occur and therefore your stawberries will taste watery
Osmosis is usually detected by simply looking at the experiment - most of the time, enough water is transferred to cause a noticeable rise/fall in water levels. However, I assume you could tell through the usage of weighing scales - as water re-distributes, as would the weight.
When a tea bag and a spoonful of sugar are placed in hot water, diffusion allows the sugar molecules to move from an area of high concentration to a lower concentration throughout the water, sweetening it. Osmosis causes water to move into the tea bag, allowing the flavor compounds to diffuse out and infuse the water.
This is according to the law,the exchange of heat energy always takes place from a body at higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature until a thermal equilibrium is established between the hot and cold body.so the water can boil in a paper cup before the temp of cup equal to the water.
the bear will expand due to osmosis which is the diffusion of water. because the bear is made up of glucose, salt, etc., the water in the cup surrounding it will move into the bear. because water moves from high concentration (cup of water) to low concentration (gummi bear), the bear collects a significant amount of water, causing it to become much larger in size. -imadancer.
Making a cup of tea involves diffusion, which is the passive movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane, which is not directly involved in making tea. Active transport involves the movement of particles against a concentration gradient and requires energy, which is not typically needed for making tea.
Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. When sugar is added to tea, it dissolves and increases the solute concentration in the tea. This causes water to move from the tea into the sugar solution, which maintains the overall volume of liquid and prevents overflow.
