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 made up of atoms and molecules (groupings of atoms) and energy causes the atoms and molecules to always be in motion-either bumping into each other or vibrating back and forth. The motion of atoms and molecules creates a form of energy called heat or thermal energy which is present in all matter.
