What else can I help you with?
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They both do not require energy input from the cell to occur.
How long does osmosis take to happen?
The time it takes for osmosis to occur can vary depending on factors such as the size of the molecules involved, concentration gradient, and temperature. Osmosis generally happens relatively quickly, with noticeable changes in concentration usually observed within minutes to hours.
Describe the process of osmosis?
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. This process helps to balance the solute concentrations on either side of the membrane.
What happens during the process of osmosis?
Osmosis is the passive movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. This process helps in balancing the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.
What happens in different concentrations of osmosis?
In osmosis, water will move from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration, across a semipermeable membrane. In a hypotonic solution, water will move into the cell, causing it to swell. In a hypertonic solution, water will move out of the cell, causing it to shrink.
Is osmosis a process of cellular respiration?
No, osmosis happens anywhere there is a semipermeable membrane.
What is equilibrium with respect to movement of molecules across a cell membrane?
that happens when osmosis occurs
What happens to cells as a result of osmosis?
they become turgid.
Where does osmosis occur in the cell?
It happens everywhere in the cell, mostly in the cytoplasm.
How does water typically move in osmosis?
In Osmosis, water moves from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. Osmosis happens because of diffence in concentration of water different regions.
What happens when water continually enters an animal cell?
due to hypo-osmosis cell breaks
What happens to cells in the body when swimming in the ocean?
The cells lose part of their liquids due to osmosis.
What happens when water particles move from a place where their concentration is higher to a place where their concentration is lower?
Osmosis
What happens to plant cells that are put in fresh water?
all it does is nothing really it just dies like osmosis
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
Diffusion and osmosis are both passive processes that involve the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. They both do not require energy input from the cell to occur.
What is osmosis stand for?
Osmosis happens when there is a membrane that water (or some other solvent) can go through but other things dissolved in the water cannot. The water will try to make concentrations equal. If on one side there is much solvent, water will go from the other side to that one. Happens a lot on the border of cells.
Do cells have to work to make osmosis happen?
No, osmosis is a type of diffusion. Diffusion never requires work. Osmosis occurs when water seeks equilibrium. The water will naturally try to have the same amount of solvents in it without work from the cell. You can do osmosis experiments using a dialysis bag. Put solvent (such as sugar) in the bag with some water. Then put the bag in a cup of water. Watch what happens :)
