Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high water potential to an area of low water potential across a semi-permiable membrane.
Yes, osmosis can occur in a salted egg. The high salt concentration in the brine will cause water to move out of the egg through osmosis, which helps preserve the egg and enhances its flavor.
Osmosis does not occur when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an isotonic environment where there is no net movement of water molecules. Additionally, osmosis may not occur if the membrane is impermeable to water molecules, preventing their movement across the membrane.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal. Therefore, osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution.
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the electrolytes are the same. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The presence of electrolytes does not prevent this process from taking place.
No, osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. It occurs at the molecular level and requires a semi-permeable membrane to happen. Osmosis cannot occur across a room.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.

if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
This is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. It does not require the presence of other molecules for it to occur.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal. Therefore, osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution.

No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
Well, considering osmosis is a very specific process for desalinating water, there are an infinite number of things that are not occuring during this process. For example, the big bang could not be occuring during osmosis because otherwise it would blow the entire universe apart, which clearly does no happen. One other example of something that does not occur during osmosis, is the combustion of water. In fact, it is nearly impossible for this to occur under any circumstances let alone during osmosis.

It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.
