If osmosis does not occur in a cell, the cell may not be able to regulate the exchange of water and solutes with its environment effectively. This could lead to cellular dehydration or swelling, disrupting various cellular functions and potentially causing the cell to burst or collapse.

What 3 types of solutions will osmosis occur?

Osmosis will occur in hypertonic solutions, where the solute concentration is higher outside the cell than inside, causing water to move out of the cell. It will also occur in hypotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is lower outside the cell, causing water to move into the cell. Lastly, osmosis will happen in isotonic solutions, where the solute concentration is equal on both sides, leading to no net movement of water.


Where does osmosis occur in the cell?

It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.


How much energy ATP is needed for osmosis to occur?

The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.


In which organelle does osmosis occur?

Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.


What situation would osmosis most likely occur in cells?

Osmosis would most likely occur in cells when there is a difference in solute concentration between the inside and outside of the cell. This causes water to move across the cell membrane in order to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides.


Can osmosis occur in boiled cells?

No, osmosis cannot occur in boiled cells because boiling denatures the cell membrane and destroys its structure, preventing the movement of water molecules across the membrane. Osmosis requires an intact cell membrane to regulate the movement of water in and out of the cell.


What would happen if a cell containing many dissolve solutes was placed in pure waters?

Water would enter the cell via osmosis and it would finally burst.

What are the consequences for a cell if it cannot carryout osmosis and diffusion effectively?

The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways
