What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
The spread of molecules throughout an area?
i think is the isotonic .. Diffusion is the spread of molecules. Osmosis is the movement across water.
Why oxygen molecules do not across a cell membrane while glucose molecules do not?
Glucose is too big to pass throught.
Is diffusion of water is called osmosis?
Yes, osmosis is defined as the net movement of water molecules from an area where they are highly concentrated to an area where they are less concentrated across a semi-permeable membrane such as a cell surface membrane.
What can osmosis be described as?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What is the tightness across the surface of water is called?
"surface tension"
What is the tightness across the surfaces of water called?
Surface tension.
When an object is pulling across a level surface at a constant velocity what force is the pulling force equal to?
Friction.
Why the wood is not good conductor?
A conductor is something that allows for the movement of tiny charge carrying particles called electrons across the surface. The specific elements that make up wood and the way that its molecules are arranged don't allow for ease of movement of electrons across its surface.
What kinds of molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane?
Water molecules freely diffuse across a semipermeable membrane.
What would result in greater friction riding a sled down a snowy slope or pulling it across a sidewalk?
Pulling a sled across a sidewalk because rougher surfaces have more friction.
What are the symptons of angina?
Some of the most common angina symptoms are chest pain, and a tightness, squeezing, or pressure feeling across the chest.
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
Why is it easier to pull a box across a surface with an upward angle then push a box across a surface with a downward angle?
Push a box across a surface with a downward angle because gravity is helping.
When molecules are moving back and forth across the membrane will they ever stop moving?
Yes, in an isotonic solution the movement of molecules across the membrane will stop.
What is the process When proteins help molecules move across the membrane is called?
when proteins help molecules move across the membrane, it it called Facilitated Diffusion
How did ocean waves form?
The winds cause waves on the surface of the ocean (and on lakes). The wind transfers some of its energy to the water, through friction between the air molecules and the water molecules. Stronger winds (like storm surges) cause larger waves. You can make your own miniature waves by blowing across the surface of a pan of water.
