In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
What happens during the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the random movement of water particles through a partialy permiable membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentrated solution.
Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Diffision is the net movement of molecules from an area where there are many to an area where there are few. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane. Both use each other because diffision is what happens in an osmosis.
When one side of the membrane has a higher concentration of particles then the other side of the membrane what happens?
osmosis
Describe what happens in osmosis?
when you mix something such as, sugar or salt, with water, you lower the concentration of water molecules
When does osmosis happen?
osmosis usually happens when usman is here but im not sure :/
Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
What happens to cells as a result of osmosis?
they become turgid.
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
Where does osmosis occur in the cell?
It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.

How does water typically move in osmosis?
In Osmosis, water moves from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. Osmosis happens because of diffence in concentration of water different regions.
What happens when water continually enters an animal cell?
due to hypo-osmosis cell breaks
What happens to cells in the body when swimming in the ocean?
The cells lose part of their liquids due to osmosis.
What happens when water particles move from a place where their concentration is higher to a place where their concentration is lower?
Osmosis
