Osmosis. It's a type of facilitated diffusion in cells because a water molecule is too large to passively diffuse across a plasma membrane. You need to set it on fire first.

What is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis?
Osmosis. In this process water is moved in or out of the cell to reach an isotonic concentration. Meaning that both sides of the cell membrane will be of equal strength.
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?
Water moves into the cell.
What process do water molecules cross the cell membrane?
Process in which water molecules moves across a membrane?
What moves into and out of a cell by process of osmosis?
water
What substance undergoes osmosis?
Water moves across the cell membrane through the process of osmosis.
How can you use water osmosis cell and cell membrane in a sentence?
Water moves in and out of the cell through the cell membrane by the process of osmosis when there is a concentration gradient.
What is the name of the process in which water moves into or out of the cell membrane to maintain homeostasis?
Osmosis. In this process water is moved in or out of the cell to reach an isotonic concentration. Meaning that both sides of the cell membrane will be of equal strength.
What is the universal solvent that moves in and out of cell by the process of osmosis?
I do think that the only universal solvent is WATER
What examples of hypertonic solution?
if a cell is paced in a hypertonic solution means that water concentration in the cell is higher than the outside the cell so water moves out of the cell cell shrivels process called crentation
What direction does water move when cells are placed in hypertonic solution?
Water moves out of the cell in hypertonic solution.
What happens when to much water moves into a cell?
When too much water moves into a cell it will burst and die.
When more water moves out of a cell than moves in the cell will?
The cell will be very turgid and stiff.
The process thaty causes water to flow into contractile vacuoles?
in fresh water the concentration of solute (particles and ions in water) is lower than that inside the cell. through the process of osmosis, water moves into the cell to equalize the concentration. the water must then be pumped out, so that the cell doesn't burst. in salt water there is less or no difference in solute concentrations inside and outside the cell, and no need to pump water out.
Under what conditions will an animal cell burst?
When surrounded by a hypotonic solution (i.e. a solution that has a water potential higher than that of the cell itself, such as pure water). Water moves into the cell by osmosis. The cell cannot withstand this pressure and will burst, a process known as haemolysis.
What happens if a cell is dropped into a container of pure water?
Water moves into the cell.
