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:
Matter in the solid state maintains a fixed volume and shape, with component particles (atoms, molecules or ions) close together and fixed into place. Matter in the liquid state maintains a fixed volume, but has a variable shape that adapts to fit its container. Its particles are still close together but move freely. Matter in the gaseous state has both variable volume and shape, adapting both to fit its container.
