What is the fuction of the vacuole in the process of osmosis?
If I remember correctly the vacuole gets rid of excess water assuring cells wont burst.
What is the osmosis in human cells?
osmosis in human cells
What are 2 examples of osmosis?
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
In what organelles does osmosis occur?
Most membranes are semi-porous and osmosis (movement of water) occurs. In many plants the cells have a waxy coating which limits the movement of water.
What is happening with the cells start to swell up with water?
The chemical concentration inside the cell is greater than outside therefore water moves by osmosis into the swell and causes it to swell. If this continues beyond a certain point the cell can lyse (burst).
Do cells of your body burst due to osmosis inside our cell?
yes if it absorbs enough water
What does osmosis bring into the cells that helps with wilted plants?
Osmosis brings water into the cell which helps wilted plants recover from dehydration.
Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
Why not inject distilled water into arm?
This will increase the water potential of the blood, and cause your blood cells to burst due to osmosis.
What is the application of osmosis and difusion to plants and animals?
Plants absorb water from the soil by osmosis and diffusion of water and gases is important for the inetercellular movement in plant and animal cells.
How do non-vascular plants move water?
Through conducting cells by osmosis

What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.

Why are animal cells easier to burst than plant cells?
Plants have cell walls. That's all I know. :) :P
