The cell membrane does not move during osmosis. Osmosis is defined as "the net movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane following a concentration gradient."
Cells are affected by the movement of water by the diffusion of water that goes in and out of the cell will tell you how it functions.
If a potato has a larger surface are:volume ratio, it will be affected by osmosis more quickly that a potato with a smaller surface are:volume ratio. Presumably a potato with a larger mass will have a smaller SA:Vol ratio, and as such will be less affected.
Cells can lose water through processes such as osmosis, where water moves from an area of higher concentration inside the cell to an area of lower concentration outside the cell. Other factors that can cause cells to lose water include evaporation, improper hydration, or certain medical conditions such as diarrhea or excessive sweating.
The bursting of red blood cells due to osmosis is known as hemolysis. This occurs when red blood cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, causing water to enter the cells and swell them until they burst. Hemolysis can happen if the concentration of solutes inside the cell is higher than the concentration outside.
Yes, large cells and small cells both carry out diffusion and osmosis, but the rates can differ. Smaller cells generally have a higher surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for more efficient and faster diffusion and osmosis compared to larger cells. As cells increase in size, the volume grows faster than the surface area, which can slow down these processes. Therefore, smaller cells typically exchange materials more rapidly than larger cells.

Cause osmosis is a water condition.
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
Water moves by the process of osmosis in and out of cells.
osmosis
no
osmosis
they don't use osmosis
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
The cells fill with water because of the movement of water by osmosis. (APEX)
Osmosis is essential for maintaining the balance of water and solutes inside and outside of cells. It allows cells to take in essential nutrients and remove waste products. Without osmosis, cells would not be able to regulate their internal environment and would not survive.
