Temperature is a relative term. Do you mean extremes of temperature??? They might harm the semi-permeable properties of the membrane. It also depends upon how quickly the temperature is changed. Rapid temperature changes can instigate signal transduction pathways that will change the properties of the cell. Slow, non-injurious changes in temperature will have a slight effect on osmosis (cold = slower) but much less of an effect than say the effects of temperature on an enzyme.

I think what you mean is "effect" rather than "affect." Anyhow, there is a direct correlation to temperature and osmosis. The lower the temperature, the lower the rate of osmosis. Vice Versa will work too.
remember, osmosis is the rate at which water enters from one cavity to another cavity through a semi-permeable membrane. It does this to balance out the concentration of solute particles from one side to another. hope this helps.

1.Temperature. The more heat molecules have, the faster they move and the faster they will diffuse. sorry this is what i got off an internet site im using for my biology A level coursework. Hope it helps
