The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is?
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is water. Water moves freely through cell membranes to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
Aquaporins are involved in osmosis by facilitating the movement of water molecules across cell membranes. They do not participate in facilitated diffusion, which involves the transport of solutes across membranes with the help of carrier proteins.
What are the six processes by which materials pass through cell membranes?

Is the cell membrane permitable to everything?
Not everything, no. It depends on the cell, some cell membranes are permeable to water (called osmosis) but not smaller particles like proteins. Whereas, some are permeable to proteins and other small particles but not to larger particles.
How does osmosis explain the movement of water across cell membranes?
Osmosis is the movement of water from a solution of high concentration to a solution of lower concentration through a membrane. Water passes through the membrane, diluting the solution of higher concentration on the other side, until both solutions on either side of the membrane have equal concentrations.
Passage of water through cell membranes?
Osmosis
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is?
The compound that allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis is water. Water moves freely through cell membranes to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
What do you call the movement of water across cell membranes?
osmosis
The movement of water and dissolved materials through cell membranes?
osmosis
What compound allows materials to move through cell membranes by osmosis?
Water.
What compound moves through cell membranes by osmosis?
Water is the primary compound that moves through cell membranes by osmosis. Osmosis is the passive movement of water from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
What is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membranes?
osmosis
What allows water to pass through?
water can pass through cell membranes by osmosis- similar to diffusion
Are aquaporins involved in osmosis or facilitated diffusion?
Aquaporins are involved in osmosis by facilitating the movement of water molecules across cell membranes. They do not participate in facilitated diffusion, which involves the transport of solutes across membranes with the help of carrier proteins.
In what organelles does osmosis occur?
Osmosis primarily occurs in the cell's membrane (plasma membrane) and in the membrane-bound organelles such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, and vacuoles, where water molecules move across the membranes to maintain the cell's internal balance.
What do Prokaryote and Eukaryotes have in common?
They both have a cell membrane, ribosomes, and DNA (although in the prokaryotic cell, it is just a "nucleoid region" while the eukaryotic cell contains the nucleus, nuclear envelope, Nucleolus, etc.
Where does osmosis takeplace?
Osmosis takes place across a selectively permeable membrane, such as cell membranes or synthetic membranes, where solvent molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration to equalize the concentration on both sides of the membrane.
