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 are all the kinds of passive transport except?

Passive transport includes diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis.


What are the 3 methods of passive transport?

The three methods of passive transport are simple diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis. Simple diffusion involves the movement of molecules across a membrane from an area of high concentration to low concentration. Facilitated diffusion uses carrier proteins to help larger or charged molecules move across the membrane. Osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.


What is the term for the diffusion of water across the semipermeable membrane?

The term for the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is osmosis. Osmosis is when the molecules of a solvent move from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. This equalizes the concentrations on each side of the member.


What includes diffusion osmosis and facilitated diffusion?

These processes involve the movement of molecules across a semi-permeable membrane. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the passive transport of molecules across a membrane with the help of specific proteins.


How is water transported across the membrane?

Water is transported by a passive transport called osmosis. Osmosis is diffusion of water across the membrane.
