1
Q
what is osmosis
A
the diffusion of water form a dilute solution to move concentration solution through a partially permeable membrane allowing water to diffuse through and is a passive process
2
Q
how do you measure osmosis
A
cell with dilute solution will have the cell volume and mass increase
cell in solution of same concentration will have the volume and mass stay the same
cell in concentrated solution will have the cell volume and mass decrease
