Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?

Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.


At what temperature does osmosis work best?

Osmosis works best at moderate temperatures around 20-40°C. Extreme temperatures can denature the proteins and disrupt the cell membrane's structure, and consequently, osmosis may not function optimally.


How does reverse osmosis work?

Reverse osmosis filters certain types of molecules and ions by applying pressure on one side of the membrane. Reverse osmosis works by introducing a large amount of pressure to a solution to remove large molecules and/or ions completely. This process is similar to other osmosis exercises.

An egg as an osmosis meter?

Osmosis is the process where water passes into our tissues through a semi-permeable membrane. All of our cells are surrounded by a membrane that selectively allows in anything the cell needs but prevents unwanted molecules from entering. An egg also has a membrane surrounding it so we can use it to represent a cell and see how osmosis works.

What is Seawater Reverse Osmosis?

Seawater Reverse Osmosis is a filtration process that is often used for water. It works by using pressure to force a solution through a membrane, retaining the solute on one side and allowing the pure solvent to pass to the other side.
