Want this question answered?
Osmosis across the cell membrane doesn't occur when the concentration gradients, and therefore the water potential inside and outside of the cell are the same
There has to be a difference in concentration in order for diffusion and osmosis to occur.
They add more solute particles into the solution and have a greater effect on osmotic pressure.
The following conditions are required for osmosis to occur: 1) A selectively-permeable membrane 2) Concentration difference
yes

no
osmosis occurs in the roots
where does osmosis occur in the human body?
osmosis occurs in the nephrons of the kidneys
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.

Yes, osmosis is how water travels between cells.

There are some pumps actively moving ions (electrolytes) between compartments but most movement in the body is my osmosis and diffusion.
