There are a many factors which affect the rate of osmosis. One of the factors is the temperature of the solution and solvent. Temperature affects osmosis because when temperature goes higher, molecules move faster. So, osmosis will increase. If the temperature is decreased, the rate of osmosis will decrease too. Another factor which affects osmosis is the size of the particles. The size of the particles affect osmosis because osmosis is the movement of a solvent through a membrane and membrane's pores, or empty spaces, are different sizes. Only certain particles can fit through any given membrane. The concentration gradient can also affect osmosis because osmosis is a transport process therefore it can only go with the concentration gradient. The lower the concentration of the solute within a solvent, the faster that osmosis will occur into that solvent. The light and dark also affects osmosis because the greater the light, the faster osmosis occurs. The PH affects osmosis as well. The greater the pH of a solution, the more acidic or concentrated it becomes. The greater the concentration gradient of a substance on either side of a membrane the faster osmosis occurs.
What else can I help you with?
What organelle in the plant cell is known as osmosis?
The vacuole is the organelle in a plant cell that is involved in osmosis. It helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell by regulating the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell through osmosis.
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
When water moves across a cell membrane it is called?
osmosis
In which organelle does osmosis occur?
Osmosis occurs in the cell membrane of a cell. It is the movement of water across the cell membrane, which controls the balance of water inside and outside of the cell.
What does osmosis have to do with cell walls?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semi-permeable membrane, like a cell wall. Cell walls in plant cells are semi-permeable, allowing water to move in and out of the cell through osmosis to help maintain the cell's turgor pressure and overall structure.
What three factors influence regulation in the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
What is a factor that determines whether a molecule cross a cell membrane?
size/ polarity can be the factors
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
Is movement of alcohol through cell membrane osmosis?
Alcohol moves across the cell membrane by means of osmosis.
What organelle in the plant cell is known as osmosis?
The vacuole is the organelle in a plant cell that is involved in osmosis. It helps maintain turgor pressure in the cell by regulating the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell through osmosis.
What is the passage of water through cell membrane?
osmosis
What is a factor that determines whether molecule can cross a cell membrane?
size/ polarity can be the factors
Why do plants manage to attract more water in osmosis?
Osmosis the transfer of water through the cell. So when in osmosis the cell needs more water.
How does osmosis and diffusion limit the size of a cell?
diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell by how fast is can move
The process of water moving out of a cell is called?
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell
What part determines the shape of an animal cell?
Three general factors determine cell shape: the state of the cytoskeleton, the amount of water that is pumped into a cell, and the state of the cell wall.
How do you use osmosis in a sentence?
osmosis involves water passing in and out of the cell
