Diffusion is a process in which solute molecules move from higher concentration towards lower concentration. While in case of Osmosis, the water moves towards highest solute concentration in a semi-permeable membrane.
Yes. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, until the concentration of fluids on both sides of the membrane is equivalent.
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (ex. tea flavoring moving from an area of high to low concentration in hot water.)
Diffusion is the spread of particles through random motion from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration.... Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permiable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in order to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides....
Diffusion of fluid through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a higher solute concentration until there is an equal concentration of fluid on both sides of the membrane
This is called osmosis, which is the movement of water from a low solute concentration to a high solute concentration.
Diffusion is a process in which solute molecules move from higher concentration towards lower concentration. While in case of Osmosis, the water moves towards highest solute concentration in a semi-permeable membrane.
Diffusion is the movement of molecules from the area of higher concentration to the area of lower concentration i.e.along concentration gradient . Osmosis is the movement of water across a semi-permeable member from a solution of lesser solute concentration to a solution of higher solute concentration .
although both are the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to low, diffusion is the movement of many kinds of substances however osmosis refers to the diffusion of water particles only from an area of high water concentration to an area of low water concentration.
Diffusion; a form of passive transport.
Water does flow to a region of more concentrated solute, by the process of osmosis.
they make the concentration of the solute equal inside and outside of the molecule.
Yes. Osmosis is a type of diffusion involving the movement of water through a semipermeable membrane from a solution with a low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, until the concentration of fluids on both sides of the membrane is equivalent.
Osmosis is the term for the diffusion of solute through a membrane from a place of higher concentration to a place of lower concentration. The process of osmosis will continue until the concentration is equal on both sides of the membrane.
Osmosis is the spontaneous net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from a region of low solute concentration to a solution with a high solute concentration, down a solute concentration gradient. Diffusion is a spontaneous movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. (ex. tea flavoring moving from an area of high to low concentration in hot water.)
"Osmosis is the diffusion of a solvent (frequently water) through a semi-permeable membrane, from a solution of low solute concentration (high water potential) to a solution with high solute concentration (low water potential), up a solute concentration gradient."
Osmosis is the movement of a solvent (water) into a cell where the concentration of a solute is higher, the lower concentration of solute being outside the root cells. Diffusion involves the spreading of a solute from areas of higher concentrations to areas of lower concentration within a solvent.Osmosis is made possible by a semi-permeable membrane which allows the solvent in, instead of allowing the solute out.
