Question

What affects the movement of water across the plasma membrane?

Answer 1

Osmosis is simply the diffusion ofwater across a membrane - again from high to low concentration. In order to move against the concentration gradient (from low to high concentration), particles must undergo active transport. ... Size is another factor that affects the movement of molecules across a semipermeablemembrane.

Answer 2

Answer:

Concentration gradient, size of the particles that are diffusing, and temperature of the system affect the rate of diffusion. Some materials diffuse readily through the membrane, but others require specialized proteins, such as channels and transporters, to carry them into or out of the cell.
