Alpha-helices have 3.6 amino acid residues per turn, ie a helix 36 amino acids long would form 10 turns, and The axial distance between adjacent residues is 3.5 Angstroms. Beta-helices have two residues per repeat unit which gives the beta-strand a 7 Angstrom pitch. This compares with the alpha-helix where the axial distance between adjacent residues is only 1.5 Angstroms. Then how many residues in an alpha-helix conformation would it take to traverse the same distance as 10 residues in beta-strand conformation?

Osmosis

In simple words, osmosis is the slow, gradual movement of a liquid through a membrane. But there are nuances to this process. For instance, there has to be an imbalance in the distribution of solute in the liquid on either side of the membrane, which has to be semipermeable. The liquid in the region with a lower solute concentration moves to the region with a higher concentration, thereby displacing the solution in the process. The objective is to equalize the concentration of molecules on both sides of the membrane; the displacement of liquid can be viewed as a byproduct of this equalization. Since there is no energy required to carry osmosis, it is considered a passive process.
