What substances will cross the cell membrane through osmosis?
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
Whats the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The only substance that carries out osmosis is water. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentration of solute to a high concentration of solute in the pursuit of equilibrium across the membrane.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
Whats the only substance that undergoes osmosis?
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
How is osmosis a special kind of diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water only. Osmosis occurs when water moves across a membrane in order to create an equilibrium.
Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the what?
Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the semi-permeable membrane. This will cause water to cross the lipid bilayer.
What substance crosses the cell membrane through osmosis?
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
What substances will cross the cell membrane through osmosis?
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
What product can be produce through osmosis?
Water only
How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?
Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.
What occurs when only water can pass through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
Whats the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The only substance that carries out osmosis is water. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentration of solute to a high concentration of solute in the pursuit of equilibrium across the membrane.

What do water passes through a membrane by?
It's called osmosis. The water will travel across the membrane to equal out concentrations so they are both the same. This is because water is a small molecule, able to move through the membrane.Think of it this way. If there were no membrane then the dissolved substance would diffuse throughout the mixture. If you put a membrane there then the same idea works but this time it is only the water that can move. So the water moves through the membrane until the same concentration of water molecules appear on each side.
Is water enters a cell through a cell wall by a process called osmosis true?
Yes. But only through a permeable or semi permeable membraneEDIT: The cell membrane is not itself permeable to water. However there does exist a type of protein pore called an aquaporin in the membrane that can allow water to pass through, driven by diffusion or osmosis.
How well do pansies grow in salt water versus regular water?
Pansies don't grow as well in saltwater as they do in normal distilled water because the roots take in water through the roots by a process call osmosis,which is a process through which ONLY water travels through a semipermeable membrane into the cell. Therefore the salt molecules ''clog'' the membrane and makes the water molecules unable to get to the plant to go through photosynthesis.
Whats the only substance that undergoes osmosis?
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
