Plants grow in moist environments so they can absorb water and nutrients by osmosis and diffusion?
i dont know the answer but i NEED the answer for this question its on my homewrk
When raisins absorb water is it diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
How are nutrients absorbed by the intestine cells?
it depends on the nutrients and their size. some nutrients absorb via diffusion, others is facilitated diffusion (needs a carrier protein and no energy), and others are via active transport (needs energy and a protein channel).
What will happen to a plant if there is no osmosis?
plants absorb water and nutrients through osmosis. Therefore when there is no osmosis plants cannot survive.
What method is used by bryophytes to absorb water and nutrients What is it called?
diffusion
What is the application of osmosis and difusion to plants and animals?
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis and diffusion of water and gases is important for the inetercellular movement in plant and animal cells.
Name the process plants could use to pump salts out of their roots?
osmosis
What process happens in the roots?
The process of osmosis gives the roots the ability to absorb nutrients from the ground and draw them into the plant
What process is the is the opposite of active transport?
exocytosis which is when cells absorb materials from outside the cell by engulfing it with their cell membrane
Does a hydra need a circulation system to distribute digested nutrients?
No they use osmosis to absorb digested nutrients and flagella to move food and particles around within it
Is osmotic pressure essential for the survival of the organism?
Yes. Organisms use osmosis to absorb nutrients across cell walls.
