Osmosis and Diffusion Quiz

Osmosis occurs mainly in liquids and requires a partially permeable membrane, while diffusion occurs in all states of matter and does not require a barrier.

Water moves into the cell by osmosis, leading to an increase in protoplasmic contents and turgor pressure, causing the cell to become turgid.

Osmosis only moves water molecules (correct)

Diffusion requires a partially permeable membrane

Diffusion requires a barrier

Osmosis occurs in all states of matter

<p>Water moves out of the cell by osmosis, leading to a decrease in protoplasmic contents and turgor pressure, causing the cell membrane to become flaccid and pull away from the cell wall, resulting in plasmolysis.</p> Signup and view all the answers
