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:
States of matter : the physical state of matter depends on a balance between the kinetic. energy of particles, which tends to keep them apart, and the attractive forces between them, which tend to bring them together. The attractive forces between molecules are the same in all. three states (gas, liquid, and solid). However, in the gaseous state, the kinetic energy of the. molecules is great enough to overcome the attractive forces between them. Kinetic energy. increases with increasing temperature.
