Osmosis is controlled by the difference in solute concentration between a semi-permiable membrane. The membrane is too small for the solute to pass through to reach equilibrium, but water is small enough to go through, so it passes through the membrane and equilibrates the concentration of the solute on both sides. This process is driven by the positive change in entropy.

∙ 15y agoI'm not entirely sure what you mean by what 'controls' osmosis, but osmosis is the movement of water from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration through a semi permeable membrane. So if you had a low concentration sugar solution in one half of a jar and a high concentration sugar solution in the other half of the jar and they were separated by a membrane that water could travel through, a semi-permeable membrane, the water would go from the side where there's lots of water (low concentration sugar) to the area where there's not so much water (high concentration sugar) until the sides are the same concentration.

What 3 minerals control the osmosis?
sodium, chlorine and potassium.

Osmosis is
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
Who founded osmosis?
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
What affects osmosis?
osmosis is affected by the concentration gradient the lower the concentration gradient the faster the speed of osmosis
What 3 minerals control the osmosis?
sodium, chlorine and potassium.
How do control osmosis?
By controlling solute concentration inside the cell :D
What part of franks body control the temperature in Osmosis Jones?
Hypothalames
How do celles control osmosis?

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.
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.

How does a cell control what enters and leaves?
The cell membrane enables a cell to control what enters and leaves. The membrane has a selective semi-permeable membrane which facilitate this process.
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
How do you spell osmosis?
Really? osmosis.
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
What is the function of a nucleous?
The nucleus is the control center of the cell. The function of the nucleus is to maintain the integrity of the genes within the chromosomes, which are the cell's nuclear genome, and to control the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression. The function of nucleolus is to maintain osmotic potential of the cell through osmosis.
