Osmosis is the overall movement of water from a dilute to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
osmosis is the movement of a low salt solution in water to a high salt solution in water by diffusion. if animals did not have water proof coating or some way to protect the cells from absorbing to much water and causing the cells explode in water which has a lower salt solution then the content of the cell
What else can I help you with?
What is the land water climate plants and animals of a particular place?
That would be It's Ecology. It is fully contained within It's related Ecosystem.
Why would water enter a paramecium cell?
By osmosis
Would you expect osmosis and diffusion to the stop when substances are evenly distributed?
Yes, osmosis and diffusion would theoretically slow down and eventually stop when substances are evenly distributed. This is because there would be no concentration gradient, which is necessary for osmosis and diffusion to occur.
What is low biodiversity-?
Biodiversity is the variation of life types within an environment. For instance, an environment with only a few different types of animals and plants would have a low instance of biodiversity.
What would happen if a leaf was placed in distilled water?
Placing a leaf in distilled water would allow water to enter the leaf through osmosis, leading to an increase in turgor pressure within the cells. This influx of water could cause the leaf to become turgid and firm.
By definition what is the only substance that carries out osmosis?
The definition of osmosis does not restrict this phenomenon to any single substance. I don't know where you would get that idea. In practice, most of the situations involving osmosis, that are of interest to us, take place in an aqueous medium. But osmosis can occur in other media.
What is the land water climate plants and animals of a particular place?
That would be It's Ecology. It is fully contained within It's related Ecosystem.
Why is Osmosis Jones wrongly titled?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a membrane. Diffusion is when particles move from a higher concentration to a lower concentration without the use of any energy. So, in the movie, Osmosis Jones is really a white blood cell (a cell that combats "evil" disease or illness. The the movie would have been titled fine as Osmosis Jones if Osmosis simple diffused from one place to another inside the body. However, that would have been really boring and the studios would have lost their shirts!
What uses oxygen to break down food?
Cells in the body use oxygen to break down glucose from food into energy through a process called cellular respiration. This process takes place in the mitochondria of the cells, where oxygen is needed to produce ATP, the primary source of energy for cellular functions.
What would happen if osmosis didn't take place in the human body?
If osmosis didn't take place in the human body, cells wouldn't be able to regulate their water balance, leading to dehydration or overhydration. This could disrupt cellular functions and ultimately result in organ failure. Osmosis is essential for maintaining proper hydration levels and overall cell health in the body.
Is a sanctuary a place where wild animals can live safely?
In theory, animals should be safe to roam within the confines of a sanctuary. They would be safer than in nature since sanctuaries are usually patrolled by rangers. However, there is always a chance that poachers could sneak on to kill animals.
What would osmosis be in a house?
Diffusion?
What place can you put the egg in?
In a place where there is no cats or dangerous animals.I would suggests putting it in a place where there is no cats or animals
Does cell respiration take place in animals?
Considering that cellular respiration takes place in humans, which are a "higher" form of animals, you can assume that cellular respiration can also take place in all other animals. Without cellular respiration, the animals would have no form of cellular energy, ATP, and would start to die off.
Where would be a good place to live if you were an animal trainer?
circus or a place were the animals can live in peace
Why are pets not permitted at the Vatican?
The Vatican has no place for pets. It is crowded with tourists and has no place for animals to do what animals do. They would leave their droppings everywhere for people to step into.
Why osmosis does not occur when you place boiled rasins in hypertonic and hypotonic solution?
Boiling ruptures the cell membrane of raisins, preventing osmosis from taking place as the cell membrane is necessary for the process. In a hypertonic solution, the raisins would not absorb water due to the damaged cell membrane. In a hypotonic solution, they would not release water as the cell membrane cannot regulate the movement of water.
