Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane. In biological systems, the solvent is typically water.

Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the what?

Osmosis can only occur if water travels through the semi-permeable membrane. This will cause water to cross the lipid bilayer.


What substance crosses the cell membrane through osmosis?

Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.


What product can be produce through osmosis?

Water only


What is it called when osmosis can only occur if water travels?

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.


What substances will cross the cell membrane through osmosis?

Only water is transported through the process of osmosis.


What occurs when only water can pass through a selectively permeable membrane?

osmosis


What is the relationship between osmosis and diffusion by definition what is the only substance that can carry out osmosis?

Osmosis is a specific type of diffusion that involves the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. Water is the only substance that carries out osmosis due to its ability to move freely through the membrane.


Is water enters a cell through a cell wall by a process called osmosis true?

It is not accurate to say that water enters a cell through a cell wall via osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. In plant cells, water enters through the cell membrane and moves into the vacuole.


What is the only substance to undergo osmosis?

Water is the only substance that undergoes osmosis, which is the movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.


How well do pansies grow in salt water versus regular water?

Pansies don't grow as well in saltwater as they do in normal distilled water because the roots take in water through the roots by a process call osmosis,which is a process through which ONLY water travels through a semipermeable membrane into the cell. Therefore the salt molecules ''clog'' the membrane and makes the water molecules unable to get to the plant to go through photosynthesis.


How does water enter from the soil to the xylem of the plant through diffussion and osmosis?

Diffusion and osmosis are the same thing, only osmosis is specifying that it is the movement of water that is taking place.Diffusion: movement of a substance from a high concentration to a low concentration. This equalizes the concentration of the substance across the membrane.Osmosis: the movement of water by diffusion.Dialysis: the movement of solutes (dissolved substances) by diffusion.


What does osmosis deal with only?

The migration of water only.
