Title: Explain the process of osmosis.
Course: Biological Applications in Agriculture (18308-I) > Section: Understanding Cell Structure and Functions

Explanation should include

- movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane, from high to low area of concentration
- osmotic pressure
- the different levels of solute and solvent concentration (e.g., hypertonic, hypotonic, isotonic).

Process/Skill Questions:

- How is osmosis used by cells?
- What is the function of membranes in osmosis?
- How do solute and solvent concentrations affect osmosis?
- How does saturation affect osmosis?
- What other factors affect osmosis? How?
- What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion?
