Kinetic theory and osmosis Question: What is the kinetic theory and how does it relate to osmosis in plant cells? Answer: The kinetic theory of matter describes the motion of molecules. It relates their motion to their mass and the temperature of the medium of which they are part. Strong evidence for the existence of molecules is provided by the following observations:
Since molecules are particles of matter, it takes energy to move them. Heat is a form of energy. It causes molecules to bounce into each other separating them. As molecules separate, their density, the amount of matter found in a given volume or space, decreases.
