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:
Heat energy, also referred to as thermal energy, is really the effect of moving molecules. Matter is made up of molecules, which are in continual motion and in a solid, vibrate about a mean position. The motion of any molecule increases when the energy of the substance is increased.
