| Osmosis is important in food preparation because the cell walls of living organisms are semipermeable membranes. |
| The particles do not pass through normal filter paper nor do they dialyze through a semipermeable membrane. |
| A semipermeable membrane allows small solvent molecules to pass through, but not the larger solute molecules. |
| The semipermeable membrane at the probe tip allows exchange of soluble molecules between the probe and the surrounding tissue. |
| The membrane is described as semipermeable because it allows water, but not dissolved substances, to cross it. |
| In addition, the membrane is semipermeable, allowing for fluid and gas exchange. |
