This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.

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.


What involves the movement of solutes across a selectively permeable membrane by the process of difussion?

facilatated diffusion


Membranes that allow only certain substances to pass through are called semipermeable and?

selectively-permeable membrane and the process of this type of diffusion is called fascilitated diffusion


What process - movement of water across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of high water concentration to an area of low concentration?

Osmosis is the process by which water moves across a selectively permeable membrane.


What takes materials in and out of a cell?

The plasma member is a selectively permeable membrane which allows the entry and exit of substances in and out of the cell through the process of diffusion.


Which term refers to the diffusion of water molecules through a slestively permaeable 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.


The process that relies on a concentration gradient of protons?

Chemiosmosis, the diffusion of hydrogen ions on a selectively permeable membrane.


What process allows water to cross the selectively permeable membrane of an animal cell?

Mitosis


What process allows water to cross selectively permeable membrane of an animal cell?

Mitosis


What substance can diffuse through a differentially permeable membrane?

Diffusion across a membrane in biology is referred to as 'osmosis' & osmosis is the process by which solvent molecules move from a region of high conc. to low concentration and this can therefore occur only in one direction at a time for a perticular solution. this is a really smart answer im surprised


What phrase best describes osmosis A process by which A the cytoplasm divides B DNA synthesizes C molecules distribute balanced by movement D selectively permeable membrane allows exchange through it?

Osmosis is the process where a selectively permeable membrane allows the movement of water through it.


How is diffusion different from osmosis?

The essential idea is the same: diffusion is the process by which molecules spread from areas of high concentratiion, to areas of low concentration. Osmosis is the process by which molecules of WATER spread from areas of high concentration (such as a dilute solution) to areas of low concentration (such as a concentrated solution), typically through a selectively permeable membrane. In short: Diffusion occurs as is, while osmosis occurs through a semi permeable membrane.
