The ultimate goal of both diffusion and osmosis is?
The ultimate goal of both diffusion and osmosis is to reach a state of balance.
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.
Does osmosis use oxygen if its available?
No.
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
How do you use the word osmosis in a sentence?
Osmosis provides the primary means by which water is transported into and out of cells.
What does a gated channel in a cell membrane allow?
osmosis
Does osmosis need sugar?
Yes. Osmosis needs water to finish the final product and to make both sides even. However, they use water as well and bacteria forms to produce a toxic waste. It is impossible to see osmosis but if you use a microscope you can.
Does osmosis require energy?
Diffusion and osmosis both come under passive transport and do not need energy.Both of them are down the concentration gradient.
The ultimate goal of both diffusion and osmosis is?
The ultimate goal of both diffusion and osmosis is to reach a state of balance.
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.
What are the cell membrane and water both involved in?
The cell membrane and water are both involved in "Osmosis" the making of Chloroplasts.
How do red blood cells use osmosis to perform their job?
they don't use osmosis
How does the body use osmosis?
where does osmosis occur in the human body?
What controls diffusion and osmosis in and out of a cell?
the nucleus controls both osmosis and diffusion in and out of a cell
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What two ways could you expect the movement of water into a cell by osmosis to be similar to the diffusion of oxygen?
They both go along the concentration gradient (high to low), they are both passive, do not require energy and no channel or carrier proteins are required.
How do you use osmosis in a sentence?
osmosis involves water passing in and out of the cell
