Background information on Osmosis
Osmosis is the transport of water molecules from a strong solution (high water concentration) to a weak solution (low water concentration) through a partially permeable membrane. ... Osmosis takes in all living cells i. ...
Osmosis takes place when the cell is places in a higher concentration of water solution than what is in the cell or when the cell is placed in a lower concentration of water solution than what is in the cell. ... If the solution surrounding the cell has a higher water concentration than the cell (a very dilute solution) the cell will gain water by osmosis. ... If the solution has a lower concentration of water than the cell (a very concentrated solution) the cell will lose water by osmosis.
