Osmosis is the net movement of water across a partially permeable membrane from a region of high solvent potential to an area of low solvent potential, up a solute concentration gradient.
Slightly permeable to sodium ions.
Plasmolysis refers to the contraction of the protoplast of a plant cell as a result of loss of water from the cell. The plasma membrane moves away from the cell wall due to loss of water through osmosis. Osmosis on its part, is the movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of lower water potential through selectively permeable membrane.
yes it does
a stronger stimulus will be required to cause an action potential
Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Thus, it always involves 1) a selectively/differentially permeable membrane 2) difference in water potential(related to concentration gradient) 3)flow of water.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules through a selectively-permeable membrane down a water potential gradient.
1) Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Reverse osmosis refers to the flow of water against the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to energy gained from the surroundings or an increase in pressure.

Osmosis is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane down a water potential gradient. Through the osmosis, your cells can absorb water.
Osmosis is the mobement of water molecules from a region where they are a high water potential to a region where there is a low water potential across a selectively permeable membrane until uniformity is reached.
Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Thus, it does not require oxygen.
Diffusion. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.Osmosis is a special type of diffusion. It is the movement of water molecules only from a solution of higher water potential to a solution of lower water potential across a selectively permeable membrane.The characters in bold indicate the specificity of osmosis as compared to diffusion.
osmosis is a movement of a fluid that passes through a semipermable membrane
Slightly permeable to sodium ions.
It maintains the osmotic potential of the cell
