When two solutions, with different concentrations are separated by a semi permeable membrane. The flow will be from high concentration to low.
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
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.
Yes, osmosis and diffusion can occur simultaneously through a dialysis membrane. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane, while diffusion involves the movement of solute molecules. Both processes can occur independently of each other through a dialysis membrane when there is a concentration gradient present.
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.
Diffusion and osmosis occur in living things at the cellular level. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. Both processes are crucial for nutrient uptake, waste removal, and maintaining cell hydration levels.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.

Yes, osmosis can occur in a salted egg. The high salt concentration in the brine will cause water to move out of the egg through osmosis, which helps preserve the egg and enhances its flavor.
Osmosis does not occur when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an isotonic environment where there is no net movement of water molecules. Additionally, osmosis may not occur if the membrane is impermeable to water molecules, preventing their movement across the membrane.
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
This is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. It does not require the presence of other molecules for it to occur.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal. Therefore, osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution.
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the electrolytes are the same. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The presence of electrolytes does not prevent this process from taking place.
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
Well, considering osmosis is a very specific process for desalinating water, there are an infinite number of things that are not occuring during this process. For example, the big bang could not be occuring during osmosis because otherwise it would blow the entire universe apart, which clearly does no happen. One other example of something that does not occur during osmosis, is the combustion of water. In fact, it is nearly impossible for this to occur under any circumstances let alone during osmosis.

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