None! Osmosis is a type of passive transport , meaning the cell spends zero ATP to make it happen. 2. Understanding the Semi-Permeable Membrane
The solute concentration is equal inside and outside. The Result: Water moves in and out at the same rate .
You can draw simple diagrams to illustrate osmosis, such as:
Many notes ask for the specific effects on different cell types.
Draw a cell with a partially permeable membrane. Label the cell and the surrounding solution.
Osmosis is the movement of water molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration through a partially permeable membrane.
