osmosis (in terms of life) is the diffusion of water across the cell membrane
diffusion is the natral movement of particls from a higher consintration to a lower consintration.

What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?
Osmosis is very similar to normal diffusion, but osmosis is only the movement of water through a "partially permeable membrane" where as simple diffusion is the movement of anything from an area of high concetrations to low, such as gas in a room.
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
osmosis
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What are forms of cellular regulation?
enzyme function, diffusion, osmosis, homeostasis
How are diffusion and osmosis similar?
diffusion is to make materials collide and osmosis is when water goes into a material:)for osmosis try the egg expierment!
What are the four functions of the cell membrane that help a cell maintain homeostasis?
by diffusion and osmosis
In what way are diffusion and osmosis similar?
minority molecules spread out. diffusion happens with gas and osmosis happen with liquid.
Is diffusion the same thing as Osmosis?
They are similar. Diffusion refers to a movement from high concentration to low concentration. Osmosis is basically the diffusion of water.
What help maintain homeostasis in cells does not require energy?
Simple diffusion and osmosis help maintain homeostasis in cells and do not require the cell to expend energy.
How is osmosis similar to simple diffusion?
Both affected by Concentrations?
How is osmosis different from simple diffusion?

What do you need for homeostasis?
Homeostasis when referred to cells, basically means the cell is "happy". It is the driving force of diffusion and osmosis, the passage of high density to low density through a barrier.
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
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.
