The only substance that carries out osmosis is water. Osmosis is the movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a low concentration of solute to a high concentration of solute in the pursuit of equilibrium across the membrane.

Whats the only substance that undergoes osmosis?
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
What is the only substance to undergo osmosis?
it may be NaCL
What is the only substance that can carry out osmosis?
Strictly speaking, osmosis means the diffusion of waterthrough a semipermeable membrane. I'm not certain what the generic term for other solvents would be.
How is osmosis and diffusion alike?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
Osmosis and raw egg and salt?
Osmosis only apply to water, the word your looking for is Diffusion
Whats the only substance that undergoes osmosis?
Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis.
By definition what is the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The definition of osmosis does not restrict this phenomenon to any single substance. I don't know where you would get that idea. In practice, most of the situations involving osmosis, that are of interest to us, take place in an aqueous medium. But osmosis can occur in other media.
What is the only substance to undergo osmosis?
it may be NaCL
What substance crosses the cell membrane through osmosis?
Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.
What is the only substances that carries out osmosis?
Water and salt, both inside and out of the cell.

How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?
Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.
What is the only substance that undergo osmosis?
It is water. Water can move from a region of high solute concentration to a region of low solute concentrations. Osmosis is a passive process and no energy is required.There are many things that undergo osmosis. For example- resins, cells etc.
What factors determines the osmosis of a cell?
There are a many factors which affect the rate of osmosis. One of the factors is the temperature of the solution and solvent. Temperature affects osmosis because when temperature goes higher, molecules move faster. So, osmosis will increase. If the temperature is decreased, the rate of osmosis will decrease too. Another factor which affects osmosis is the size of the particles. The size of the particles affect osmosis because osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane and membrane's pores, or empty spaces, are different sizes. Only certain particles can fit through any given membrane. The concentration gradient can also affect osmosis because osmosis is a transport process therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient. The lower the concentration of the solute within a solvent, the faster that osmosis will occur into that solvent. The light and dark also affects osmosis because the greater the light, the faster osmosis occurs. The PH affects osmosis as well. The greater the pH of a solution, the more acidic or concentrated it becomes. The greater the concentration gradient of a substance on either side of a membrane the faster osmosis occurs.
What does osmosis deal with only?
The migration of water only.
How is osmosis and diffusion alike?
Diffusion is the movement of particles from where there are lots of them, to where there are less of them. Osmosis is the same thing basically, but osmosis is only with water particles.
Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?
Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.
