Osmosis refers to the flow of water along the water potential through a selectively/differentially permeable membrane/tubing due to a difference in water potential. Thus, it does not require oxygen.

Why does a cell need oxygen and what do you get in return?

The cell needs oxygen for respiration (diffusion and osmosis)


Does osmosis require oxygen?

No, osmosis does not require oxygen. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, without the need for energy or oxygen.


What osmosis involves . both water and oxygen water but not oxygen oxygen but not water neither water nor oxygen?

Osmosis involves the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. It does not involve the movement of oxygen.


Does osmosis use oxygen if its available?

No, osmosis is a passive process that does not require the use of energy or oxygen. It is the movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Oxygen is not involved in the process of osmosis.

If you're buried alive in a non-airtight box under sand would your oxygen supply be maintained by osmosis?

No, osmosis would not replenish your oxygen supply if you were buried alive in a non-airtight box under sand. Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane, not the diffusion of gases like oxygen. Your oxygen supply would deplete as you consume the available oxygen in the enclosed environment.

Does osmosis primarily release oxygen into the atmosphere?

No, osmosis is a process in which solvent molecules move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. It does not release oxygen into the atmosphere.


When oxygen move from the lungs to the bloodstream is it by osmosis?

No, the movement of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream is not by osmosis. Instead, it occurs through a process called diffusion, where oxygen molecules move from an area of high concentration (in the lungs) to an area of lower concentration (in the bloodstream) to reach equilibrium.


How do oxygen carbon dioxide and water move in the lungs?

using diffusion and osmosis.
