Q

channel proteins are always open and moves molecules both side

A
17
Q

osmosis def

A

diffusion of water across a semi permiable membrane from a higher to lower concentration

18
Q

how does osmosis work to keep always flowing

A

solute is stuck in one side so water levels are never equal. water flows to the lower concentration.

19
Q

what type of movement is osmosis

A

passive
