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 is anything that takes up space and has mass or weight. Matter exists in three forms or states-solid, liquid and gas. All matter is made up of molecules, the smallest part of a substance that can still be that substance. Molecules in gases are far apart and they move around more. Gases have no definite size or shape. Liquids' molecules are closer together than those of gases but less so than those of solids. Liquids have a definite size or volume but liquids take the shape of the container they are in.
