What else can I help you with?
Is osmosis a movement of proteins?
No, in osmosis water molecules move from higher water concentration to a lower concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. Proteins are much smaller matter.
Does osmosis involve transport proteins?
No, osmosis does not involve transport proteins. Osmosis is the passive movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane in response to a concentration gradient. Transport proteins are involved in facilitated diffusion and active transport processes.
Does osmosis involve the use of transport proteins?
No, osmosis does not involve the use of transport proteins. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Transport proteins are not involved in this process.
Does osmosis involve the use of proteins in its process?
Yes, osmosis does not involve the use of proteins in its process. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. This process does not require the use of proteins.
What will happen to the water in the capillary tube during the investigation of osmosis?
It will increase due to osmosis
What is one specific form of simple diffusion?
There's facilitated diffusion, where proteins channel in molcules; then there's active transport where the cell uses energy to bring in molecules that are to large or a different chemical configuration.
What will happen to a plant if there is no osmosis?
plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis. Therefore when there is no osmosis plants cannot survive.
What uses channel proteins to help it across the cell membranes?
Water is one specific molecule. Its channel proteins are called aquaporins.
Osmosis in real life?
Osmosis certainly does happen regularly in real life. Osmosis is the transportation of water from one side of a membrane to the other side of a membrane.
Is a protein osmosis?
No, protein is not 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. Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids that have various functions in the body.
Does osmosis require membrane proteins?
No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible
In osmosis What molecule does not move across the membrane?
In osmosis, large molecules like proteins and polysaccharides do not move across the membrane. Only smaller molecules such as water and ions can pass through the membrane during osmosis.
