If you're buried alive in a non-airtight box under sand would your oxygen supply be maintained by osmosis?
No. Osmosis is process that only involves the movement of water. Oxygen would have to move through diffusion.
Does osmosis need oxygen?
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 does not require oxygen.
How do carbon dioxide water and oxygen move in lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
Is osmosis a form of diffusion?
Yes. Osmosis is a special case of diffusion - in involves just water diffusing across a semipermeable membranes - like in cell membranes.
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.
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
If you're buried alive in a non-airtight box under sand would your oxygen supply be maintained by osmosis?
No. Osmosis is process that only involves the movement of water. Oxygen would have to move through diffusion.
Osmosis is more or less specialized then diffusion because it involves?
Osmosis only involves water.
How do you use osmosis in a sentence?
osmosis involves water passing in and out of the cell
How does food water and oxygen enter cells?
By osmosis
Does osmosis need oxygen?
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 does not require oxygen.
Does osmosis require a cell to expend its own energy?
No. Osmosis is a passive method of transporting water. It moves water from a high concentration of water to a lower concentration of water. It is really simple diffusion but it is called osmosis because it involves water.
What is the name of the diffusion of water?
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
What type of passive transport involves water molecules moving from high to a low concentration?
osmosis
Involves water moving across the plasma membrane to the side with the greater solute concentration?
Osmosis
How do oxygen carbon dioxide and water move in the lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
How do carbon dioxide water and oxygen move in lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
