Best Answer

osmosis is the diffusion of water

When a fresh water plant is in the ocean (salt water) then the ocean will be hypertonic and water will rush out with the concentration gradient to try and reach an equal balance.

Osmosis in real life?

Osmosis certainly does happen regularly in real life. Osmosis is the transportation of water from one side of a membrane to the other side of a membrane.


What is a real life example of osmosis?

for animal cells one would be when ur skin gets wrinkly after being in water for long periods of time and for plant cells one would be when a plant gets wilted.


Water spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of what?

Water molecules spreading through a membrane with a change in cell size is an example of osmosis. In osmosis fluid passes both in and out of the semipermeable membrane in osmosis, but usually there's a net flow in one direction.

What is a real world example of a square pyramid?

One real world example of a square pyramids is the pyramids built in Egypt, like the Pyramid of Giza. Another example is the roof of many houses. Children's building blocks often include square pyramids as well.


What does not occur during osmosis?

Well, considering osmosis is a very specific process for desalinating water, there are an infinite number of things that are not occuring during this process. For example, the big bang could not be occuring during osmosis because otherwise it would blow the entire universe apart, which clearly does no happen. One other example of something that does not occur during osmosis, is the combustion of water. In fact, it is nearly impossible for this to occur under any circumstances let alone during osmosis.


What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?

This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
