What are the benefits of reverse osmosis systems in purifying water?
Reverse osmosis is a membrane technical filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane.
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
How do you recover a solvent from a solution?
Reverse osmosis is used to recover solids solutes from liquid solution. So consequently the answer to the question is to describe the Reverse osmosis process, use wikipedia or google for the description of the reverse osmosis process.
What will happen to a red blood cell placed in a solution of 99.3 percent water and 0.7 percent salt?
When red onions are placed in a solution with fifteenth percent salt and forty- five percent water, the water leaves the red onion cells through osmosis until the cell membrane will eventually collapse.
Is osmosis active trasport or passive trasport?
Osmosis is an example of Passive Transport.
What solution that causes a cell to swell cause of osmosis?
Solution causes a cell to swell by osmosis
A solution that causes a cell to swell because of osmosis?
hypertonic solution
Does osmosis occur in an isotonic solution?
No. The solution is already at equilibrium, so there's no need for osmosis
What is an osmotically active substance?
It is a solute that causes osmosis to occur. For instance, if a solution contains sucrose and the membrane is impermeable to sucrose,, water will move out of the cell and into the solution to dilute it. Hence the solution is hypertonic. Sucrose would be considered an osmotically active solution in this case because it induces osmosis of water across a membrane.
What causes a cell of shrink because of osmosis?
What causes a cell to shrink because of osmosis?
What effect does isotonic solution have on the liver?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave a liver, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a liver, an isotonic solution water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
What is the best description of osmosis?
Osmosis is a proces of transfer of a diluted solution in the zone of a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane.
Does hypotonic solution cause osmosis?
yes
What is the ability of a solution to do work by osmosis?
diffusion
What effect does isotonic solution have on an egg?
Considering osmosis- If a hypertonic solution causes water molecules to leave an egg, and a hypotonic solution causes water molecules to enter a egg, an isotonic solution (where inside the egg and outside the egg the solute concentration is equal) water molecules would neither enter, nor leave a cell. I hope this helped :)
Is plasmolysis osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a plasma membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a region of high solute concentration.Plasmolysis is one of the results of osmosis. In other words, osmosis causes plasmolysis to occur. In plasmolysis, cell losses water through osmosis to the surroundings solution.The conditions that will allow playmolysis are :(a) the cell is more hypotonic(b) the surrounding solution is more hypertonic
Does isotonic solution cause osmosis?
No, Hypotonic Solutions do
