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.


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.

How do you use osmiosis in a sentence?

Osmosis is a process by which molecules pass through a semipermeable membrane from a less concentrated solution to a more concentrated one. An example sentence using osmosis could be: "During osmosis, water molecules moved from the beaker with a lower salt concentration to the one with a higher salt concentration."

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.
