Osmosis is a physical process in which a solvent moves, without input of energy, across a semipermeable membrane (permeable to the solvent , but not the solute) separating two solutions of different concentrations. Osmosis releases energy, and can be made to do work, as when a growing tree root splits a stone.
Osmosis is a special form of diffusion that applies only to water molecules. It involves the movement of water from an area of low solute concentration to an area of high solute concentration through a semi-permeable membrane.
The differences between diffusion and osmosis are really just that osmosis takes place with water and through a membrane. Diffusion is just the spread of molecules from high concentration to low. Osmosis is diffusion of water through a membrane.
Yes, osmosis is a specific type of diffusion in which water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration.
No one founded osmosis. Osmosis is just the movement of water across a semipereamble membrane.
Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane. Osmosis can be seen as a specialized form of diffusion where only water molecules are moving.
Nope! Osmosis is simply the movement of H2O over a membrane from high concentration to low concentration. It's a form of passive diffusion!
One method of movement across the membrane is by diffusion, which is related to osmosis.
They are both a form of passive transport. By the way it is spelt "common"
Osmosis is a form of passive transport in cells where water molecules move across a selectively permeable membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. It is essential for maintaining proper hydration and nutrient balance in cells.
Absorption of water by plants is a form of diffusion called osmosis.
No, osmosis does not require ATP because it is a passive process in which water molecules move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration through a selectively permeable membrane. ATP is not needed to facilitate this movement.

osmosis
No. Osmosis is a form of passive transport.
it is called endo-osmosis
Certainly; molecules move faster at a higher temperature (that is what temperature is, at a molecular level) and therefore undergo osmosis faster as well, since that is a form of molecular motion.
Osmosis is a special form of diffusion in that it brings water into a cell, rather than nutrients & other substances.
