What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
What is the direction of osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water. The direction of water movement (osmosis) is from an area of high water concentration (low solute concentration) to one of low water concentration (high solute concentration). For example, if a semipermeable membrane separates a 1M solution of sucrose from a 0.1 M solution of sucrose, the water will move from the side with 0.1 M to the side with 1 M sucrose. This is in an attempt to equalize the concentrations of solute on both sides.
Osmosis?
Osmosis is
Is there antonyms for osmosis?
there is no antonym for osmosis.
In which direction does osmosis occur?
Osmois is the continual movement of water from a higher solution of water content through a semipermeable membrane into a solution of lower water content. Therefore, ososis occurs in a downward direction from higher to lower water content.
Reverse osmosis occurs when?
a pressure greater than the osmotic pressure is applied in the opposite direction osmosis is occurring.
Why are the processes of diffusion and osmosis are important?
The processes of diffusion and osmosis are important for survival because important biological processes depend on them. For example, water is transported into and out of cells through osmosis instead of active transport.
What direction do molecules of osmosis move?
Osmosis is not a molecule. It is the flow of water through cell membranes from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
Are diffusion and osmosis types active transport?
No. (Active xport would be in the opposite direction.)
What is the direction of net osmosis?
Osmosis is the passage of water from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. The direction of movement is from area of higher water concentration to area of lower water concentration.
What does the net flow of water molecules in osmosis depend on?
The magnitude of the concentration gradient across the membrane.
Does displacement depend on direction?
yes
What direction does water travel in osmosis?
To an area of lower concentration to even the concentration of both sides out.
Does the instantaneous speed depend on the direction?
Maybe
Why does a blimps movement not depend on the direction wind?
No
Does muscle power depend on direction of fascicles?
no
