Sugar allows osmosis in potatoes?
no or yes
If you drop a lump of sugar into a beaker of water the sugar particles will become evenly distributed throughout the water through what?
the lump of sugar will slowly dissolve and undergo osmosis, if you stir or swirl the beaker it this will happen much faster
How does osmosis explain sugar on strawberries?
when u cover the strawberry with sugar, the water enters the strawberries cell membrane. then the strawberries coating will be sweeter
Describe what happens in osmosis?
when you mix something such as, sugar or salt, with water, you lower the concentration of water molecules
How is osmosis related diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
What are advantage of osmosis?
it requires no energy
What does it take to make osmosis to go backwards?
It requires energy. With a pressure difference, you can revert osmosis.
Sugar allows osmosis in potatoes?
no or yes
Do cells have to work to make osmosis happen?
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)
Which statement concerning osmosis and active transport is NOT correct?
Osmosis requires cell energy while active transport does not.
How does osmosis explain the fact that a watery syrup forms when you put sugar on strawberries?
Osmosis-The diffusion of water through a membrane. Answer-the sugar gets in to the strawberry and makes it melt so the watery syrup forms.
Is osmosis an example of passive transport?
Yes, it is, as it requires no energy.
What is Comparison between active transport and osmosis?
active transport requirs energy; osmosis requires very little to no energy
Can osmosis refer to the movement of water or sugar through a membrane?
Osmosis the the term that applies primarily to water, not sugars.
What carrier protein takes sugar into a cell with out energy?
osmosis
How can osmosis be used to transfer energy?
It can't. As osmosis is the natural movement of water down a water potential gradient, it requires no energy.
Is a cube of sugar dissolving in coffee considered osmosis?
Yes, the "passive moving" of water across the membrane is considered osmosis.
