How is osmosis related diffusion?
Osmosis and diffusion are similar in that there is a net movement of molecules from a high concentration of those molecules to a lower concentration. Osmosis is a special type of diffusion that deals with the movement of water only. Osmosis also deals with a semipermeable membrane (like our cell membranes). Diffusion can occur anywhere such in a glass of water when you add sugar but it can occur around cells.
Differentiate osmosis from diffusion?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of lower concentration. Osmosis is the net movement of water through a partially permeable membrane, from a solution of less negative water potential, to a solution of more negative water potential. Both Diffusion and osmosis occur down the concentration gradient. Basically they are the same thing, but osmosis is the diffusion of water in solution, rather then gaseous diffusion. We use the term osmosis to differentiate between gaseous transport and water movement. hope it helps..
When there is no net movement of molecules after diffusion has occur this is called?
That would be stability. A quasi-static situation. The solution has evenly dispersed the added chemical and is at rest. Not changing any more in color or density. Net movement is low. There is still a lot of action going on.
What is the opposite of osmosis?
Because diffusion is the movement of solute particles while osmosis is the movement of solvent molecules through a semipermeable membrane.
Compare and contrast osmosis and diffusion?
Diffision is the net movement of molecules from an area where there are many to an area where there are few. Osmosis is the diffusion of water through a cell membrane. Both use each other because diffision is what happens in an osmosis.
Diffusion is defined as a movement of molecules?
Is Diffusion the movement of molecules from a greater to a lesser concentration.
When a solution as a greater concentration particles?
Diffusion is the net movement of molecules from an area where they are at a higher concentration to areas where they are at a lower concentration. This is due to the random movement of the molecules.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from?
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.
What is the movement of molecules from greater to lower?
Diffusion.
What is the energy movement of molecules?
Diffusion.
What is the term for the movement of molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration?
If it is the movement of molecules then it is diffusion. If it the movement of water then it is osmosis

What is movement of molecules from an are where there are many to an are where there are few?
diffusion
What are the particle involved in diffusion?
Diffusion is due to the Transitional movement of molecules or particles.
What is diffusion occurs because of the what movement of molecules?
No, diffusion does not occur because of random molecular movement. It is rather as a result of movement of molecules from areas of high concentration to lower concentration.
What is diffusion and how does it relate to the movement of material into and out of the cell?
diffusion is the kinetic movement of molecules from higher concentration to lower concentration.
What are facts about diffusion?
net passive movement of particles
