Both move down concentration gradient through a partially permeable membrane, and both do not require energy. Diffusion involves the movement of particles or solute from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Osmosis is the movement of water from where it is in high concentration to where it is in low concentration.

∙ 10y agoDiffusion and filtration are alike because both processes try to accomplish the same goal, separate particles. Diffusion works at a much smaller level and filtration is used to get larger particles out of an item.

An example of passive transport process is?
Diffusion, filtration, and osmosis. Diffusion.
Why is simple squamous epithelium often found in areas where filtration or diffusion is important?
Because squamous cells are thin and flat which is helpful for diffusion .
The use of hydrostatic forces to move fluids through a membrane is?
Facilitated diffusion is incorrect. The answer is filtration.
What type of epithelium would be most suited for high levels of diffusion and filtration?
simple squamous
Types of passive transport involves the movement of water and solute molecules due to hydrostatic pressure?
Diffusion involves the movement of material from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.Osmosis is a type of diffusion that specifically involves the movement of water.Facilitated diffusion is also a type of diffusion that uses special transport proteins to transfer larger molecules, such as glucose, across cell membranes.Filtration involves the movement of water and solute molecules across the cell membrane due to hydrostatic pressure. This pressure is generated by the cardiovascular system as blood is pumped through the body's blood vessels.so therefore Filtration is the answer.

What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
Three types of passive transport?
There are three forms of passive transport, or the movement of biochemical and other atomic or molecular substances across the cell membranes. They are: osmosis, simple diffusion or facilitated diffusion, and filtration.
What are the three forms of passive transport?
diffusion, ossmosis and filtration
What are the transport mechanisms used by capillaries?
Diffusion, Filtration, and Osmosis
Which is a type of passive transport?
There are four types of passive transport. The four types for transports are diffusion, facilitated diffusion, filtration and osmosis.
What are the 3 methods of passive transport?
1. Facilitated Diffusion 2. Filtration 3. Osmosis
Why is simple squamous epithelium often found in areas where filtration or diffusion is important?
Because squamous cells are thin and flat which is helpful for diffusion .
Compare osmosis diffusion and filtration?
Diffusion is movement of molecules, from region of higher concentration, to the region of lower concentration, along concentration gradient.
Why aren't simple diffusion osmosis and filtration sufficient to supply the needs of the cell?
nothing
The use of hydrostatic forces to move fluids through a membrane is?
Facilitated diffusion is incorrect. The answer is filtration.
What type of epithelium would be most suited for high levels of diffusion and filtration?
simple squamous
