Osmosis is the transport of water across semi permeable plant membrane. When glucose molecules actively transport to the plant they lower the water potential of the plant and therefore water moves in to balance that. This is how active transport assists osmosis.

How temperature affects osmosis diffusion and active transport?

Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the particles in the state that they are currently in. Increasing the temperature allows water molecules to move about faster and in doing so will increase the rate of osmosis as would increasing the water potential gradient. (Yes)


What is the result of diffusion and osmosis through nonliving membranes of sac 1 containing 40 percent glucose suspended in distilled water?

In this scenario, the glucose in sac 1 will diffuse out of the sac into the distilled water due to the concentration gradient. However, since distilled water is hypotonic compared to the 40% glucose solution, water molecules will also move into the sac via osmosis to try to balance the concentration inside and outside the sac. This will cause the sac to swell as water moves in, reaching an equilibrium point where the movement of glucose and water is balanced.


What are beta cells?

Cells located in the pancreas that produces insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood and, when glucose levels spike, cause certain cells to 'suck up' the access glucose and store it.


What does mitochondria require to cause cellular respiration?

Mitochondria require oxygen and glucose to carry out cellular respiration, a process which generates energy in the form of ATP for the cell. Oxygen is used as the final electron acceptor in the electron transport chain, while glucose is broken down in a series of reactions to produce ATP.


Which of the following processes cause substances to move across membranes and doesent require energy ATP?

diffusion or osmosis (diffusion of water)

What cause certain things to enter cell?

Things can enter the cell through various processes, such as osmosis, diffusion and active transport. Passive transport (diffusion/osmosis) occurs because of a difference in concentration across the membrane.


Which molecule listed is most likely to cause osmosis in the body?

A molecule like glucose is most likely to cause osmosis in the body. Glucose is a small molecule that can easily cross cell membranes, causing changes in osmotic pressure and potentially affecting the movement of water into or out of cells.


What type of cellular transport requires a cell to use energy?

Will osmosis cause thisIf the concentration of glucose in the water outside of a cell is higher than the concentration inside?

When the concentration of the glucose in the water outside the cell is higher than the concentration inside, the water will then have a tendency to leave the cell. The process of the water leaving the cell will be by osmosis.

What are some effects of osmosis on a cell?

Osmosis if unopposed would cause outside water to pass through the cell membrane, building up pressure until the cell burst. To prevent this the cell has an active pumping system of protein lined pores that continuously expel excess water, keeping internal pressure constant.


What would happen to a cell if treated with an active transport inhibitor?

If a cell is treated with an active transport inhibitor, it will be unable to efficiently move molecules across its membrane against a concentration gradient. This can lead to disruptions in key cellular processes that rely on active transport, such as nutrient uptake, waste removal, and maintaining ion gradients. Ultimately, the cell's ability to function properly may be compromised.
