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:
That question is answered by the kinetic molecular theory of gases. The kinetic molecular theory of gases is stated in the following four principles: The space between gas molecules is much larger than the molecules themselves. Gas molecules are in constant random motion. The average kinetic energy is determined solely by the temperature. NOTE: This statement implies that all molecules have the same kinetic energy at a given temperature, regardless of their mass.
