What type of membrane is required for osmosis?
A selectively permeable membrane is required for osmosis. This membrane allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the movement of solute particles based on their size and charge.
Osmosis always involves what?
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 always involves 1) a selectively/differentially permeable membrane 2) difference in water potential(related to concentration gradient) 3)flow of water.
Can osmosis occur across a room?
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.
In osmosis which membrane provides net movement of water without movement of NaCl?
A selectively permeable membrane allows water molecules to pass through but restricts the movement of larger solute particles like NaCl. In osmosis, water will move from a dilute solution to a concentrated solution through the membrane, causing a net movement of water without the movement of NaCl.
What does the direction of osmosis depend on?
Osmosis is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The direction of osmosis depends on the relative solute concentrations on either side of the membrane.
Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
What type of membrane is required for osmosis?
A selectively permeable membrane is required for osmosis. This membrane allows the passage of water molecules but restricts the movement of solute particles based on their size and charge.
What is a selectlively permeable membrane?
The cell membrane is selectively permeable, allowing some molecules to pass through by osmosis
What is the net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
The net movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane?
it is osmosis
What occurs when only water can pass through a selectively permeable membrane?
osmosis
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable is called?
The passive transport of water across a selectively permeable membrane is called osmosis. Osmosis involves the movement of water molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentrations on both sides of the membrane.
The diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane through aquaporins is called?
osmosis
What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
What phrase best describes osmosis A process by which A the cytoplasm divides B DNA synthesizes C molecules distribute balanced by movement D selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it?
D. Selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration.
What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?
Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.
