Biology B3 1.1 Osmosis.

?
What is osmosis?
The diffusion of water (the movement of water) across a partially permeable membrane.
1 of 7
How does water diffuse (osmosis)?
Water diffuses from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a partially permeable membrane.
2 of 7
How does water move into or out of cells by osmosis?
Through the cell membrane.
3 of 7
What does osmosis refer to?
The movement of water molecules only.
4 of 7
How does the water move in osmosis?
Just like diffusion, the movement of water molecules is random and requires no energy from the cell.
5 of 7
In what direction does the water move during osmosis?
The water moves from a region of high water concentration (a dilute solution) to a region of lower water concentration (a more concentrated solution).
6 of 7
What is the structure of the cell membrane (osmosis)?
Partially permeable.
