Question

Write down the process of osmosis with diagram​

Answer 1

Answer:

osmosis is exchange of pressure

Explanation:

1. Osmosis is a vital process in biological systems
2. biological membranes are semipermeable.
3. In general, these membranes are impermeable to large and polar molecules
4. such as ions, proteins, and polysaccharides, while being permeable to non-polar or hydrophobic molecules like lipids as well as to small molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and nitric oxide.
5. Permeability depends on solubility, charge, or chemistry, as well as solute size.
6. Water molecules travel through the plasma membrane, tonoplast membrane
7. (vacuole) or protoplast by diffusing across the phospholipid bilayer via aquaporins (small transmembrane proteins similar to those responsible for facilitated diffusion and ion channels).
8. Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells. The turgor pressure of a cell is largely maintained by osmosis across the cell membrane between the cell interior and its relatively hypotonic environment.

Answer 2

Answer:

Osmosis Definition

• Osmosis is a type of diffusion that, in biology, is usually related to cells. Diffusion is when molecules or atoms move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is when a substance crosses a semipermeable membrane in order to balance the concentrations of another substance. In biology, this is usually when a solvent such as water flows into or out of a cell depending on the concentration of a solute such as salt. Osmosis happens spontaneously and without any energy on the part of the cell.
