The structure of an alpha helix orients the oxygens of the carbonyl group of the peptide bond towards the C-terminal end of the helix while the hydrogens of the NH groups orient toward the N-terminal end, thus imparting a dipole along the length of the helix.  As a result, which kinds of amino acids would favor the C-terminal end, and which would favor the N-terminal end? negatively charged, positively charged positively charged, negatively charged negatively charged, hydrophobic positively charged, hydrophobic hydrophobic, negatively charged hydrophobic, positively charged

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.
