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 osmosis keep plant stem rigid?
Osmosis moves water into the central vacuole which then presses against the cell wall to create turgor pressure, causing the plant stems to become rigid.
What is the effect of osmosis on cell?
Osmosis is the process whereby water or H2o is transmitted throughout the cell membrane and thus hydrated. The cell absorbs fluids via the process termed osmosis.
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What is the process by which water is purified by pressurizing it and forcing it across a membrane?
A+ reverse osmosis
What does the central vacuole do for the cell?
The plant vacuole stores food, water, and wastes. It gives support to soft structures, such as leaves. When there is an adequate supply of water, the solutes in the vacuole attract water into the vacuole by osmosis.
What is the function of the vacuole in a plant cell during the process of osmosis?
It may also be used to describe a physical process in which any solvent ... The cell membrane is selectively permeable, so only necessary materials are let ... Also, osmosis is responsible for the ability of plant roots to draw water from the soil.
What is the general function of the cental vacuole?
The central vacuole of the cell maintains osmotic potential of that cell by osmosis and stores essential minerals in it for cell metabolism.
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.
What is the name of the organelle that certain protists have to rid themselves of water coming into them from the pond by osmosis?
contractile vacuole
What process is osmosis?
It is a process that diffuses water
What is the name of the process by which water moves into the root hairs?
Its not really by a process of osmosis. It is more by active transport. And the different concetration gradient in the soil and in the roots.
Osmosis does not require what?
Osmosis does not require a cell to expand its own energy. Osmosis is a type of diffusion process for water.
What is a sentence using the word osmosis?
Water moves by the process of osmosis in and out of cells.
Does osmosis reproduce?
Osmosis is a process and not a living being. So, it cannot reproduce.
Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
What process does a paramecium use to make a food vacuole?
They use their food vacuole to produce their food.
