Water moves to the right side of a U-tube membrane due to osmosis, which is the movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. If one side of the U-tube has a higher concentration of solutes (like salt or sugar) than the other, water will flow towards that side to balance the solute concentrations. This movement continues until equilibrium is reached or the pressure difference counteracts the osmotic force.

Can water move through the middle of a membrane?

Yes, water can move through the middle of a membrane through a process called osmosis.

When will water move acroos a membrane?

There will be a net movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from where the water is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration.


What molecules move across membrane in osmosis?

In osmosis, water molecules move across a membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration, in order to balance out the concentration levels on both sides of the membrane. Other molecules, such as ions or solutes, do not typically move in osmosis unless they are coupled with water molecules.


What molecules will move easily across the cell membrane: large proteins, starch, water, or DNA?

Water is the molecule that will move easily across the cell membrane. It can cross the membrane through special channels called aquaporins. Large proteins, starch, and DNA are too large to pass through the membrane without assistance.


How do particles move during osmosis?

During osmosis, water molecules move from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration across a semipermeable membrane. This movement of water helps to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane. Particles themselves do not move during osmosis, rather it is the water molecules that move to balance the concentration of solutes.


How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis.?

Water molecules move with the help of membrane proteins called aquaporins, which regulate the movement of water in an out of the cell. Because of the dual nature of the membrane (hydrophobic and hydrophilic), water doesn't simply diffuse in an out, although a certain percentage can slip in between phospholipids.


Are the salt particles able to cross the membrane?

If you are referring to osmosis, the salt doesn't cross the membrane, water does. Water will move into the salt water to attempt to dilute it to create homeostatsis, or equal concentrations on each side of the membrane.


What particles move during osmosis?

During osmosis, water molecules move across a semipermeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration. Other particles (ions or molecules) may also move with the water if the membrane is permeable to them.


How do the particles move in osmosis?

In osmosis, water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher water concentration to an area of lower water concentration. This movement helps to equalize the concentration of solutes on both sides of the membrane.


In osmosis What molecule does not move across the membrane?

In osmosis, large molecules like proteins and polysaccharides do not move across the membrane. Only smaller molecules such as water and ions can pass through the membrane during osmosis.


How do water molecules move through the cell membrane during omosis?

With a specific channel protein called aquaporins.
