How does oxygen cross a selectively permeable membrane?
diffusion
Is it true if the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion?
Diffusion is a physical process. When it is performed through a selectively permeable membrane, it is called osmosis. Thus osmosis is an appropriate word for movement of water molecules through a selectively permeable membrane and not diffusion.
Diffusion of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane?
it is osmosis
What is the net diffusion of water across a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
How is osmosis defined?
as diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
What is osmisis?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane.
What is the special type of diffusion where the solute passes through a selectively permeable membrane?
Osmosis
What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?
facilatated diffusion
When water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane?
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
How do particles move through a permeable membrane according to diffusion?
Yes, that is very true, especially with osmosis (the passing of water through a selectively permeable membrane).
What is the movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
The movement of water through a selectively permeable membrane is called diffusion. Water will always diffuse down a concentration gradient, from high solute concentration to low solute concentration.
What term refers to diffusion of water molecules through a selectively preamble membrane?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water molecules through a semi-permeable membrane to equalise osmotic pressure.
