How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What is the diffusion of water into and out of the cells?
osmosis
How do diffusion and osmosis affect cells?
diffusion does the thing and osmosis does the other one. 10/10 gameinformer
Movement of chemicals into or out of cells?
diffusion or osmosis
How do diffusion and osmosis differ from one another?
Diffusion and osmosis differ because diffusion is the process by which molecules spread out, or move from areas with high concentration to low concentration, and osmosis is the diffusion of water. Osmosis is a type of diffusion relating to water. It is usually used to describe the diffusion of water across a membrane (such as the cell membrane). Osmosis is also defined as the flow of solvent from a region of higher pressure toward a region of low pressure.
What impact does osmosis and diffusion have on life?
If osmosis and diffusion didn't exist then cells In things would be dry and shrink
How does osmosis and diffusion differ?
Osmosis is a type of diffusion but through a barrier (membrane) while "diffusion" is not specified if there is a physical barrier or not. Gases diffuse through each other readily.
What are cells formed of?
Enzyme activity, osmosis, and diffusion
Diffusion and osmosis are forms of what?
passive transport in and out of cells
Where do diffusion and osmosis occur in livings things?
In cells
How is osmosis different than diffusion?
Osmosis is the same thing as diffusion, but occuring only with liquids in a selectively permeable membrane. An example of this is that water entering your cells is osmosis, but oxygen entering is diffusion.
Is the diffusion of water?
yes. diffusion is the movement of molecules from a high concentration to a low concentration. think of plant cells. when saltwater is added to freshwater elodea cells it sucks the water that was in a high concentration from inside the cell, causing the cell to have a lower concentration of water molecules. a type of diffusion that involves water is called osmosis. Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a membrane.
