Biology for IGCSE & O level - Movement Into And Out Of Cells (Section 3 - No. 44)
Which factors can affect the rate of osmosis?
The concentration gradient of water.
The permeability of the membrane to water.
The temperature.
The amount of ATP available.
Explanation
Osmosis is directly driven by water potential and thus is impacted by the concentration, the permeability and temperature. ATP is required for active transport, not osmosis.
