How are osmosis and diffusion different?
Diffusion is the net movement of a substance through a membrane from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What is the difference of osmosis and diffusion?
Diffusion is the process by which a substance passes through a membrane passively.Osmosis IS diffusion, just the substance involved is water.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What is the name of the diffusion of water?
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
What the diffusion of water across a cell's membrane?
The diffusion of water through a cell membrane is called osmosis.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Diffusion is the movement of a sustance?
Diffusion is the movement of particles in a substance through a semi permeable membrane. Osmosis is similar but only involves water particles passing through a semi permeable membrane.
5 differences between diffusion and osmosis?
The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
Diffusion of solvent particles across a semipermeable membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a semi-permeable membrane, such as that surrounding a cell. Semipermeable indicates that the membrane will allow certain thing to pass through it while preventing others.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
How do ions pass through the membrane?
Osmosis and diffusion
The diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane is?
Osmosis...
