Yes. But only through a permeable or semi permeable membrane

EDIT: The cell membrane is not itself permeable to water. However there does exist a type of protein pore called an aquaporin in the membrane that can allow water to pass through, driven by diffusion or osmosis.

What substance enters and leaves a plant cell through the process of osmosis?

Water enters and leaves a plant cell through the process of osmosis. When the concentration of water inside the cell is higher than outside, water will move into the cell, and when the concentration is higher outside, water will leave the cell.


How can a liquid droplet enter a cell?

Water enters the cell through the cell membrane through a process called osmosis. It doesn't require any energy from the cell (atp) because it is a type of passive transport.


Through what process does the water enter the stems of the plant?

good question. it travels through its roots and all around to the leaves. like our body with oxygen


Why do pulses swell when kept in water?

Pulses swell when kept in water because they absorb the water through a process called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from an area of high concentration (outside the pulse) to an area of low concentration (inside the pulse), causing it to swell as the water enters its structure.


Which process of living things produces water that enters the water cycle?

Osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of WATER specifically. sources: 8th grade living environment (9th grade science)


The cellular transport process by which carbon dioxide enters a leaf and by which water vapor and oxygen exit?

osmosis


Where does water enter plant?

Water enters a plant primarily through the roots via a process called osmosis. The roots absorb water from the soil along with essential nutrients, which is then transported through the plant's vascular system to the leaves for photosynthesis and other metabolic processes.


Is water moving into the root cells of a plant an example of osmosis?

1. It enters through the cell wall. 2. It enters through the cell membrane. (Note that it enters through the cell wall's pores; and the cell membrane has to be semi-permeable) 3. Since water in the plant cell is stored in the vacuoles, the water enters the vacuole. There, the cell has gained more water. (When the cell releases water, it is the same sequence of steps except BACKWARDS) Hope my Answer helped -Rin Rin


If water moves into a cell and the cells swells it's called what?

When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters the cell through osmosis, and the cell swells.


What is a way water vapor enters the air is through the process of what?

The process through which water vapor enters the air is called evaporation. Evaporation occurs when water from bodies of water, such as oceans, lakes, or rivers, changes from a liquid state to a gaseous state and enters the air.


How does water enter and leave a plant cell?

Water enters a plant cell through the process of osmosis, which is the movement of water from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semi-permeable membrane. Water leaves a plant cell through transpiration, which is the loss of water vapor through small openings on the surface of leaves called stomata.


What process does Glucose use to get past a cell wall?

Glucose enters a cell through the process of facilitated diffusion, where it passes through membrane transport proteins called glucose transporters. These transporters help facilitate the movement of glucose across the cell membrane by following its concentration gradient.
