4.What is osmosis ?
Answers
Answer:
the gradual passing of a liquid through a thin layer of material a membrane
Hello ,
Answer:
The tendency of a fluid, usually water, to pass through a semipermeable membrane into a solution where the solvent concentration is higher, thus equalizing the concentrations of materials on either side of the membrane. the diffusion of fluids through membranes or porous partitions.
Explanation:
An example of osmosis occurs when a sugar solution and water, top, are separated by a semipermeable membrane. The solution's large sugar molecules cannot pass through the membrane into the water. Small water molecules move through the membrane until equilibrium is established, bottom.
Extra Info:
There are three types of osmosis solutions: the isotonic solution, hypotonic solution, and hypertonic solution.
An isotonic solution is when the solute concentration is balanced with the concentration inside the cell.
A hypotonic solution is when the solute concentration is lower than the concentration inside the cell.
