Osmosis

Cards (4)

  • Osmosis is a special case of diffusion
  • OSMOSIS - is the movement of water molecules across a partially permeable membrane from a region of higher water concentration to a region of lower water concentration
  • OSMOSIS - water molecules pass both ways through the membrane during osmosis. Happens because water molecules move about randomly all the time.
  • More water molecules on one side than the other,there's a steady net flow of water molecules, i.e. into the stronger sugar solution
