Well, considering osmosis is a very specific process for desalinating water, there are an infinite number of things that are not occuring during this process. For example, the big bang could not be occuring during osmosis because otherwise it would blow the entire universe apart, which clearly does no happen. One other example of something that does not occur during osmosis, is the combustion of water. In fact, it is nearly impossible for this to occur under any circumstances let alone during osmosis.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.
Yes, osmosis occurs when you swim in the sea. The salt concentration in the seawater is higher than the salt concentration in your body's cells, so water will naturally move from your cells into the seawater through osmosis. This can lead to dehydration if you don't drink enough water to replace the lost fluid.
Water molecules diffuse across the cell membrane during osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, across a semi-permeable membrane. This process helps maintain the balance of water inside and outside the cell.
Water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane during osmosis. This movement is driven by the concentration gradient of water.
The pressure exerted by water moving during osmosis is called osmotic pressure. It is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane.
During osmosis and uptake of minerals.
The cell does not need to use any ATP in order for osmosis to occur.

Removing the skin of a potato during osmosis allows the movement of water and solutes to occur more easily. The skin acts as a barrier that can impede the flow of water and nutrients in and out of the potato cells. By removing the skin, osmosis can happen more efficiently.
Yes, osmosis can occur in a salted egg. The high salt concentration in the brine will cause water to move out of the egg through osmosis, which helps preserve the egg and enhances its flavor.
Osmosis does not occur when the concentration of solute is the same on both sides of the membrane, creating an isotonic environment where there is no net movement of water molecules. Additionally, osmosis may not occur if the membrane is impermeable to water molecules, preventing their movement across the membrane.
if the membrane is intact and there is a change of concentration of solut or solvent, osmosis should happen.
This is called osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration. It does not require the presence of other molecules for it to occur.
Osmosis occurs in the small intestine during the process of nutrient absorption. Water moves through the semi-permeable membrane of the intestinal cells to maintain osmotic balance, allowing nutrients to be absorbed into the bloodstream.
In an isotonic solution, there is no net movement of water across the cell membrane, as the concentration of solutes inside and outside the cell is equal. Therefore, osmosis does not occur in an isotonic solution.
Yes, osmosis can still occur if the electrolytes are the same. Osmosis is the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. The presence of electrolytes does not prevent this process from taking place.
No, only water molecules move by osmosis. Gases are normally exchanged by the process of diffusion.
