What else can I help you with?
Does osmosis require membrane proteins?
No, osmosis is a special type of diffusion in which a water molecule is able to passively transport through a membrane without a protein. Although it is polar, it's extremely small size makes this possible
Is it active or passive transport or osmosis when particles move through protein doorways?
Since you are talking about the movement of particles, it would not be osmosis, because osmosis is the movement of water. Technically speaking, you could consider water a particle, but it is assumed that this question refers to movement of soluteparticles, and not solvent particles. Then, to determine if the movement is active or passive, one needs to know if energy is required and if the movement is up or down the concentration gradient. No energy requirement, it is passive. If a source of energy is needed, then it is active transport. Not sure what a protein doorway is. If you mean a pore, then the movement may be passive, or even facilitated diffusion.
Passive transport of water is known as?
floating
How does the cell membrane control diffusion and osmosis?
The cell membrane regulates diffusion and osmosis by allowing certain molecules to pass through via protein channels or carrier proteins, while blocking others. In osmosis, the membrane controls the movement of water molecules to maintain cell volume and prevent bursting or shrinking. This selective permeability ensures that the cell's internal environment remains stable.
What is aqua-protein?
Aqua-protein refers to proteins derived from aquatic sources, such as fish, shellfish, and seaweed. These proteins are rich in essential amino acids and are becoming increasingly popular as sustainable alternatives to traditional protein sources like meat and dairy. Aqua-proteins can be used in various food products and supplements to enhance nutritional value.
Exporting protein from a cell in vesicles is called?
Osmosis
What carrier protein takes sugar into a cell with out energy?
osmosis
What membrane protein helps muscle cell counteract this tendency?
Osmosis
A higher protein concentration within the capillaries draws water into them through?
Osmosis
Why the osmosis involves the movement of molecules via special transport protein?
facilitated diffusion
Does osmosis require protein?
Nope! Osmosis is simply the movement of H2O over a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. It's a form of passive diffusion!
Does osmosis move phospholipid bilayer or protein channel?
Osmosis moves water molecules across the phospholipid bilayer of a cell membrane. Protein channels help facilitate the movement of water and other molecules by providing a pathway through the membrane.
What protein aids in osmosis I didn't hear all of what my teacher said but I heard that the first part was aqua?
You might be looking for Aquaporins. Realize that that is not the only type of protein that can aid in osmosis. Aquaporins are a type of Channel Protein. There there are Carrier Proteins that serve a similar purpose, but do it differently. You can look this up in your class literature for verification.

When a protein helps a molecule across the membrane is?
the processe is called osmosis Try again, this time use the term "facilitated transport" since a protein molecule is helping.
