What is Osmosis? Define in 100 words?
Answers
Explanation:
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.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.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.
