What affects the rate of osmosis?
Hereof, how does light affect osmosis?
This is because light is heat which would increase the temperature around the test tubes, causing the temperature to increase, which in turn would cause the molecules to gain more kinetic energy, meaning that they would move faster and there would be more collisions so the rate of osmosis will be faster.
Secondly, why does the rate of osmosis decrease over time?
- The rate of osmosis does not remain constant over time because the rate decreases the more time it is being measured for. - An increase in temperature would cause the rate of osmosis to accelerate. The acceleration would occur because it would cause the particles to more quicker.
Rate of active transport increases with increase in glucose concentration due to increase in the rate of energy production. Temperature affects the enzyme controlled respiration process. An increase in temperature increases the rate of respiration since the enzymes become more activated.
