In Osmosis, water moves from the region of high water concentration through a semi permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. Osmosis happens because of diffence in concentration of water different regions.

Why is osmosis important to cell function?
Osmosis is important to cell functions because it keeps the cell alive
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 would happen if you put an egg in water for a day?
An egg is a cell, and so water would move from the container of water to inside the egg by a process called osmosis. This is because osmosis involves the movement of water from a high water potential to low water potential until equilibrium is achieved.
What is another term for the diffusion of water?
I think the word you're looking for is osmosis. Water with different ionic or molecular concentrations will move toward equilibrium.
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
What molecules move during osmosis?
water molecules move during osmosis
Osmosis always involves the movement of what?
Osmosis always involves the movement of water. During osmosis water will move in and out of the cell or membrane.
What molecules move across during osmosis?
The only molecules that move during osmosis are water (H2O) molecules.
How do you thank water move in and out of cells?
osmosis
How do water and minerals move in a plant?
osmosis
What process is the diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane?
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
During osmosis which direction does the water move into the cell out of the cell or does it move in and put equally?
During osmosis water moves in and out of the cell equally in both directions.
Describe the water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
Describe how water molecules move through the cell membrane during osmosis?
What type of transport does water move?
osmosis
How do water molecules move during osmosis?
Water molecules move from the region of high concentration to region of low concentration. No ATP spent in such a process. In purification of water reverse osmosis is used.
Does gas exchange occurs by osmosis?
No. Osmosis refers to the movement of water only. Gases move by diffusion.
Why does water move from the soil into the root hair cell?
osmosis
