Discuss the conditions necessary to cause water to diffuse out of a cell

When water molecules diffuse through a cell membrane this process is called the osmosis. Water molecules are extremely small and because of this they can slip freely through the gaps between the phospholipids in the cell membrane. And as a result, water molecules can constantly move back and forth though the cell 
membrane. This movement of water has a very important function and that is it enables cells to absorb water. 

Now for a movement of water molecules to happen, there should be a concentration gradient in the surrounding. That is, the amount of water in one side must be different on the other side.

For water to diffuse INTO the cell, the amount of water outside the cell membrane should be larger than the amount of water inside the side.

q: compare the parts of a cell and the cell as a whole to another common nonliving system (i.e., a car, a city,

a:

comparing this to the inside of a food building/company.

all cells are surrounded by a plasma membrane, which protects the cell from its environment, keeping toxic substances out of the cell. it regulates which molecules are allowed to enter and exit the cell.

regulates all cell activity such as cellular metabolism, and growth in addition to storing and maintaining the cell's dna for transcription and replication. determines what proteins to make.

contains the organelles; site of most cell activity

the place where ribosomes do their working activity.

builds the proteins.

prepares proteins for use or export.

responsible for breaking down and absorbing materials taken in by the cell.

maintains cell shape.

transforms one form of energy into another.

i would say the prokaryotic cells the prokaryotic cells are less complex, are usually found only in unicellular organisms and have more limited capabilities than eukaryotic cells.
