What is the diffusion of water molecules called?
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
What does osmosis have to do with dehydration?
Osmosis has everything to do with dehydration. You see, osmosis is the process by which water is diffused across a selectively permeable membrane from a high to low concentration. The way the water diffuses depends on its environment or more accurately the relative concentration of solutes on the two sides of the membrane. This is simple if a cell is hypotonic to the solution outside of it then it will gain water and swell, in an isotonic state it it stays normal, and in a hypertonic state water will leave the cell and make the cell shrivel up. Dehydration is a result of cells being in a hypertonic environment and making water leave the cell.
What transport type is osmosis?
osmosis is something with water
How are osmosis and diffusion related?
Osmosis runs on the principle of diffusion. The diffusion of water molecules through semipermeable membrane is called osmosis. We are getting most of our drinking water by RO process (i. e. reverse osmosis). Root hairs of plant absorb water by endo-osmosis.
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
What function diffuses water molecules?
Osmosis
What process is osmosis?
It is a process that diffuses water
What processes osmosis?
It is a process that diffuses water
What is it called when water diffuses across a membrane?
osmosis i think
Osmosis can be defined as?
Osmosis is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membrane.
What are 2 examples of osmosis?
Osmosis in plant cells. (water moves into plant cells by osmosis). Osmosis in animal cells. (water also diffuses in and out of animal cells by osmosis). Hope this answers your question.
The diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane is called?
When water diffuses through a semipermeable membrane, such as a cell, it is called osmosis. In osmosis the concentration of water will differ on one side of the membrane from that of the other side. Water molecules will tend to diffuse from the high concentration side to the lower.
What is a type of passive transport that occurs when water diffuses through a cell membranes?
osmosis
When water diffuses through a selectively permeable membrane?
Diffusion without a concentration gradient; osmosis with.
What is it called when iodine diffuses out of a cell?
Osmosis
What is the process in which water diffuses through a cell?
That would be osmosis, which is when items go from a low concentration to a high concentration.
What material diffuses across the cell membrane during osmosis?
Osmosis is the movement of WATER from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration through a semi-permeable membrane. So water is exchanged during osmosis.
