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.

The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.


What happen to your cells if you don't drink water?

Osmosis will not occur in your cells, so the organelles in the cell will stop functioning due to lack of adequate water. This will result in your ceels dieing, which will cause you to get sick.

Does osmosis occur in a salted egg?

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.


When osmosis do not occur?

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.


Does osmosis occur in dead cells?

if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.

What is it called when osmosis can only occur if water travels?

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.


Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution?

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.


Will osmosis occur if the electrolytes are the same?

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.


Gas exchanges occur mainly by osmosis?

No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
