i think it is because diffusion that water gets into the cells of few organisms. The specific type of transport used is osmosis. Diffusion is the net movement of substances typically from a rgion of high concentration to low concentration. This process does not require energy. Osmosis is diffusion but is specific to water.
What else can I help you with?
Is water made up cells?
Pure water contains no cells whatsoever. Water is composed of molecules.
Do the cells in your body swell and lyse when you drink water?
No, drinking water does not cause cells in your body to swell and lyse. Cells have mechanisms to regulate their water content, so they can expand slightly to accommodate the extra water without bursting.
What happens to purple onion skin cells when tap water is added?
When tap water is added to purple onion skin cells, the cells will undergo osmosis. Water will move into the cells, causing them to swell and potentially burst if too much water is absorbed. The purple color of onion cells may also diffuse into the surrounding water.
What the plant cells called that absorb water and swell up by absorbing water?
The plant cells that absorb water and swell up are called parenchyma cells. These cells have thin cell walls and can expand to store water, aiding in plant support and growth.
What happens to Carrot cells in salt water?
Carrot cells placed in salt water will lose water due to osmosis, causing them to shrink and become wilted. The high concentration of salt in the water creates a hypertonic environment, leading to water leaving the carrot cells to try to balance the salt concentration.
How do the cells in a fish react when it moves from freshwater to saltwater?
Salt controls water absorption so the cells would gain water.
Where do cells get water?

How do the cells in a fish react when it moves frome salt water to fresh water?

Is water made of cells?
Water itself is not made of cells. Cells are the basic unit of life that make up living organisms, while water is a chemical compound composed of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom (H2O). Cells contain water and require it for their survival, but water alone does not have cells.
Do cells need water to survive?
YES!!! Cells DO need water to survive!
Why is water important cells?
because the cells nutrients need water to dissolve
