GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -To see an easy demonstration of osmosis, soak gummy candies in water. The gel of the candies acts as a semipermeable membrane. Examples of Diffusion: Examples of diffusion include perfume filling a whole room and the movement of small molecules across a cell membrane.

Detailed explanation-2: -Osmosis is a special type of diffusion, namely the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane. Water readily crosses a membrane down its potential gradient from high to low potential (Fig.

Detailed explanation-3: -Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower concentration solution (i.e., higher concentration of water) to an area of higher concentration solution (i.e., lower concentration of water). Water moves into and out of cells by osmosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Feeling thirsty after having salty food. Dialysis of kidney in the excretory system. Swelling of resins and other seeds when they are soaked in water. Movement of salt-water in the animal cell across our cell membrane. More items
