What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What substance cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion?
Large molecules such as proteins cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion due to their size and charge. These molecules require specialized transport mechanisms such as active transport to enter the cell.
How does the cell membrane relate to diffusion and osmosis?
The cell membrane plays a crucial role in regulating diffusion and osmosis. It allows only certain molecules to pass through, which maintains the balance of solutes inside and outside the cell. Diffusion and osmosis are passive processes that rely on the cell membrane's selective permeability to control the movement of substances in and out of the cell.
Why is osmosis important to a cell?
Osmosis is important to a cell because it helps maintain proper water balance and allows for the transport of essential nutrients and molecules into and out of the cell. This process is crucial for cell survival and proper functioning.
How diffusion and osmosis limit the size of a cell?
becauuse it does
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
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What does osmosis have to do with cell membranes?
Osmosis is the water molecules diffusion across the cell membranes. More informations can be find at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffusion
What controls diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell?
Diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell are primarily controlled by the concentration gradient of solutes. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to low concentration, while osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane to equalize solute concentrations. Additionally, the permeability of the cell membrane to different solutes and the presence of transport proteins can also influence the rate of diffusion and osmosis.
What substance cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion?
Large molecules such as proteins cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion due to their size and charge. These molecules require specialized transport mechanisms such as active transport to enter the cell.
What are the consequences for a cell if it cannot carryout osmosis and diffusion effectively?
The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
How do substances get into a plant or animal cell?
Osmosis and diffusion
The diffusion of water into a cell by osmosis results in a buildup of what?
The diffusion of water into a cell by osmosis results in a buildup of water content within the cell, potentially causing it to swell or burst if not regulated by the cell's mechanisms.
What three factors influence regulation in the cell membrane?
Diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion.
